Whatever you say, Coladar.  The reason hitting streaks are big is because they are feats of excellence.  Likewise, while not as well-known, hitless streak records and are notable because of their incredible futility.  What Adam Dunn is doing is neither of these things.  He's having a very good year at the plate while happening to strike out at least once per game.  FYI, more than half of his games include ONLY one strikeout.

Frankly, I think this fails as a "record".  It's more like something you'd bring up as a bit of interesting but useless trivia.  I really don't see what the fascination is, but...  to each their own I suppose.  Let me know if he sets a record for consecutive golden sombreros.  THAT I would find interesting.
