I thought Dazzy Vance had even a longer streak.

Grove is a fine guess! Lefty Grove led the American League in strikeouts his first 7 years, but only led all of MLB the last 3 years of that stretch.
Dazzy Vance is another excellent guess! Like Lefty Grove, he led the league (in this case the National League) in strikeouts 7 years in a row, but also only led all of MLB for 3 consecutive years (Grove ended Vance's streak in 1926). |

Great guess! Nolan Ryan led the League in strikeouts 11 times (the record is 12 by WaJo), but because of injuries in 1975, he only led MLB in strikeouts 3x in a row ('72-'74). If he were healthy in '75, he likely would have led the 6 years from '72 through '76.
Another fine guess! Bob Feller led the American League (and all of MLB) in the 4 seasons leading up to WWII as well as 3 years after he got back. So he could have potentially led the Majors a mind boggling 11 straight years if not for his involvement in the War. Yes!!! Rube Waddell led the American League in strikeouts 6 straight years, including 5 in a row leading the Majors from 1903 through 1907. In 4 of those 5 years, the National League leader was Christy Mathewson, but Waddell bested him each time, sometimes handily, such as in 1904 when Waddell had 349 strikeouts and Mathewson had 212 (Jack Chesbro had the 2nd most in the AL with 239 for the Yankees).
