With the various baseball records and milestones lately (A-Rod 500th HR, Bonds 755th HR, Glavine 300th Win), I've been spending some time on Retrosheet, a phenomenal archive of baseball statistics -- although it's not updated during the season.
However, one of the questions that crossed my mind doesn't seem to be easily searchable on Retrosheet -- or anywhere else, to the best of my Google searching abilities:
What is the record for most ABs maintaining a 1.000 batting average to start a career? There must be someone who hit safely in their first 5 or 10 consecutive ABs...
Corrollary: What pitcher holds the record for most innings pitched while maintaining a 0.00 ERA to start his career?
Flippish Hen for the commenter who finds the answer!

Ted Cox. Started his career 6 for 6.
