17 in row! What's your longest winning streak?

I recently had a team win 17 games in a row, going 21-2 during the last 23 games of the season to vault into a playoff spot. That's got to be one of the best stretch runs ever. Of course, Snider got injured for 3 games in the semis and they got swept out of the playoffs, as they used up all their luck. The team link is below:

Now that we have access to our prior teams, what's your best winning streak? I can't recall who had the team, but I can remember someone once having a 20+ game winning streak. Post a link to your teams with long winning streaks in this thread.

This team won 17 in a row and went on to win the championship.http://onlinegames.strat-o-matic.com/team/370745

This 1999 team was 61-79 and out of it. Then I ran off 18 in a row to get even at 79-79 and have a shot at the division. Then I lost 3 of the last 4 and didn't make the playoffs.

Playoffs? Playoffs? You kiddin' me?......

I recently lost 17 in a row

This team, the Phillies, won 16 in a row in one of 2cityfan's fine 24 team franchise theme leagues:

The team was truly an enigma. After losing its first 2 games of the season, it won 16 in a row, then lost 9 of 10, won 6 more in a row, then started a long, steady decline. The team went from being a near world beater to doormat in a virtual blink of eye. After a 16-2 start, by game 55 they were under .500 at 27-28. They bottomed out at 31-37, but got back to 8 games above .500 at 75-67, before fizzling out at the end to finish 82-80. Truly a weird roller coaster of a ride season.

From game 35 through game 61, the Phillies were an unthinkable 5-22, a .185 winning percentage for a span equal to one sixth of the season. 11 of the losses were by 1 run. 3 were by 2 runs. It's tough to contend for a playoff spot with such a pronounced losing trend.

I commented at the time that even a retarded monkey could put together a team that could win more games than that!

4 of the 5 wins in that span were games started by Pete Alexander and the other win was in a game started by Steve Carlton. My nos. 3 & 4 starters, Frick & Frack, both $6 mi+ pitchers, had 14 starts between them during that stretch and my team went 0-14 during those starts. During that span the Phillies lost 9 straight series, including 3 sweeps.

I've had quite a few teams that have had double digit winning streaks. What I've noticed is that many times the streak ends by getting swept.

I think I won 21 in a row with an 80s mystery card team several years ago. Of course, I can't retrieve the team any more to show folks, but maybe someday

Are you sure that you can't retrieve your team? I had two mystery card teams (an '80s team and a '70s team) 3+ years ago and am able to retrieve them both.

I Waited to post til this team blew it in the playoffs.

This team won the last 15 games of the season....trailed by 6 games with 15 to go (73-74 record), won 15 straight and took the division title by 1 game.
