Unbelievable Streaks: The Untold Stories Behind Baseball’s Longest Winning and Losing Runs in AL/NL History
Let’s look at some of the more dramatic, longest streaks that have occurred during the regular season in the American and National Leagues in the modern era:
Longest Winning Streak: 26 New York Giants (1916)
The longest win streak since 1901 was established early in MLB history. The 1916 Giants won 26 games in a row despite only going 60-66 the rest of the season. While the MLB officially counts this as the longest win streak, this record is challenged by some who point to the fact that the Giants actually tied one game against the Pittsburgh Pirates between stretches of 12 and 14 consecutive victories. In fairness, the game was made up in its entirety the next day as part of a doubleheader, which the Giants swept.
