Correct, Gonzalez has the most HRs in Diamondback history, with 224.

I remember him for his game-winning walk-off hit in the 7th game of the World Series against the Yankees.

Yes.  Off Mariano Rivera.  One can argue about who was the best closer of all time. But there can be no argument as to the best post season closer. Unreal numbers. 96 appearances, 85 unscored upon.  140 innings. 0.7 ERA.  All with essentially one pitch.  Amazing.

Ted Williams is correct! He reached base in an amazing (to me) 84 straight games from July 1 through Sept 27, 1949.  DiMaggio's hitting streak coincided with a 74-game on-base streak in 1941.  Williams had a 73-game streak in 1941-42.
