If I’ve got my math right, that’s 21 wins in 22 games. Has there ever been such a streak in Major League Baseball?
Not at this time of the year. The 1935 Cubs won 21 straight and 23 of 24, and the 2002 Oakland A’s won 20 straight and also 23 of 24. But sustaining such a streak through the postseason is something else. Closest to the Rockies’ accomplishment were the 1960 Yankees, who closed out the regular season with 15 straight wins and 19 of 21 — but they then dropped Game 1, and eventually the World Series itself, to the Pirates.
