"More than anyone else, Dale Long can relate to New York Yankees first baseman Don Mattingly's feat of homering in eight consecutive games. Long set the major-league record for homers in consecutive games while playing with the Pittsburgh Pirates May 19-28, 1956. He was watching the Yankees on television in an Albany, N.Y. restaurant when Mattingly tied the record with a fourth-inning homer off Texas Rangers right-hander Juan Guzman. 'I'm kind of displeased and pleased,' said Long, who phoned his congratulations to the Arlington Stadium pressbox. 'He's a helluva guy. If you want to have your record broken, you would pick him. How could you go wrong.'" - Campbell, Steve. Staff Writer. Fort Worth Star Telegram: Long longs to retain share of record. 19 July 1987. Page 8.
