What MLB team has the longest winning streak in a 162-game season?
In 2002, the Oakland A’s won twenty games straight, the longest streak since baseball went to a 162-game season. In the last game they lost an eleven-run lead before winning in the bottom of the ninth on a home run by Scott Hatteberg. In 1935, the Cubs won 21 in a row, but this was only in a 154-game season. The 1916 Giants (then in New York) won 26 in a row, but only played 152 games, and the streak was interrupted by a 1-1 tie against Pittsburgh. This game didn’t count in the final standings though.
You need to determine the length of the season in this question because otherwise the reds simply dominate… They were the first and only professional baseball team for a time and traveled playing other teams around the country. But it is and always was considered a professional team and therefore season.
Actually, the Toronto Blue Jays (the best baseball team of all time) one season had a 162 game win streak. This streak will never again be attainable again by the Blue Jays due to the fact that they released Frank Thomas, this man could switch hit/bunt homeruns, a legend forever. Behind this streak is the NY Giants. But in all honesty, the Jays totally dominate any other team.
