Remember that those are seasons when there were only 16 teams and no playoffs. so the correlation to winning that many games straight and having the best record (and thus making WS) is crazy high.

TBH it makes it even more insane that the Jays have done this in 2015.

Absolutely everything is going right for the Mets.

As a Mets fan, I'm skeptical
but really, really enjoying this.

The air feels...different this time. The players love each other. Tons of talent. Pitching pitching pitching. Collins is a phenomenal manager. Seasoned vets plus up and comers. And most importantly, they expect to win

'77 Royals had a 10 game and a 16 game win streak. They lost in ALCS to the Yankees.

Despite their eventual success, the Royals started the season off very poorly, ending May in sixth place with a 21-23 record. They caught fire in June and early July, however, climbing to second place by the All-Star break. The Royals continued their hot streak after the break, tearing through the second half of the season with a torrid .699 winning percentage and taking first place for good on August 20th, in the middle of a ten-game winning streak. Kansas City won 25 of 30 games in September, including a club-record 16-game winning streak from August 31st to September 15th. On September 16th, the Royals finally dropped a game to Seattle, 4-1...before rattling off eight more wins in a row on the way to a 102-60 record, eight games ahead of second-place Texas.

They are the first American League team since the 1977 Kansas City Royals to have two winning streaks of 10 or more games in the same season. That was the Blue Jays' first year of existence.

I don't think that one technically qualifies on the chart because it says two streaks of more than 10. still impressive tho.

11 games is, incidentally, the blue jays' franchise record win streak. think we got a decent chance of making it 12 with Price going tomorrow.
