Brent,
Here's a story about the 1916 Giants team and their streaks.

Actually had an earlier 17 consecutive game winning streak to go with the 26-27 games one where they did not lose. Yet they ended up in 4th place that season. Talk about a team running hot and cold.
As for keeping this thread on topic, 34 is the major league record for successful challenges by a manager in a single season. Don Mattingly had the umps overturn 34 different calls during the 2016 season, which is the current MLB single season record for now.
And of course, before I could hit the submit button, Peter jumps in with a post that isn't even keeping the thread on topic and knocks me to post #35. So, the all-time major league record for assists by a center fielder in a single season is 35, and was actually done by Tris Speaker, twice. He did it in 1909 and again in 1912. Talk about an odd record and occurrence, especially since they played fewer games in a season back then.
