My best ever (I think) was 20 straight wins, with an '80s mystery card leave. Here's the team schedule, which I'm not sure you can read: http://onlinegames.strat-o-matic.com/team/schedule/651359
This team had another streak of 16 wins.
The team was very streaky all season long.. It got off to a 4-10 start, won six straight, and then dropped 3 in a row. At that point it was 10-13. Then, after a stint of .500 ball leaving me 16-19, the team went on its 16 game winning streak, leaving me at 32-19. Then came another iffy stretch, leaving me at 41-30.
This is when the team reeled off 20 straight wins. Suddenly, I was at 61-30. Then came some more bad baseball, then a 9-1 stretch. Then came a bit more bumbling around, closing with 5 straight losses.
The three really good streaks (45-1 combined), put me at 99 wins, but I was 44-62 outside the good streaks. The team got hot again in the playoffs and won a championship, but it was definitely a roller-coaster ride.
This is why I say one can't really judge a team by any short stretch of play. It takes a whole season for a team to show itself and even then a bad run in the playoffs can do in a great team. But this is true of real baseball as well.
