Rube Waddell was pretty good from 1903 - 1907. Led lead in strike outs every year. Won the triple crown one year. Threw 142 complete games and 34 shut outs.

Wilt Chamberlain 5 seasons 1959-1960 thru 1963-1964 Avg points per game 41.69 (yes that is a correct figure) and 25.25 avg total rebounds per game. Avg games played 78.20 per season

not saying this ranks as the "greatest" stretch ever, but Derek Jeter had a great run from 1996-2000. Rookie of the Year, 4 Rings, averaged .323 & 200 hits over those 5 years.

I thought for sure this thread was about Larry Corcoran and his five year stretch from 1880-84:

170-83 2.23 with 246 complete games in 255 starts. Led the league in strikeouts in 1880, wins in 1881 and ERA in 1882. Posted a 2.40 ERA in 1884 when the White Stockings changed the home ground rules to allow balls hit over the right field fence to be homers. Prior to that they were ground rule doubles because it was less than 200 feet down the line

While not in the same league as most of the names mentioned, Craig Biggio had an impressive run from 1995-1999. In 1998, he became only the second player to hit 50 doubles and steal 50 bases in the same season (Speaker was the first). He also won 3 gold gloves during this span.

Then in 2000, he blew out his knee and was never quite the same.
