These are within-season streaks only: a streak that carried across an off-season (Jimmy Rollins' 38-gamer of 2005-06) counts on the era leaderboard, not here, so the two pages never double-list the same run. The longest run fully inside one season is the leader for that season, even when a longer cross-season streak overlapped it.
Derivation rules are the same as the era leaderboard: hits extend a streak, official at-bats without a hit end it, walk-only games and team changes do not. Every player-season behind these rows matched the independently staged season aggregate exactly.
