December 11, 200421 yr That one is never getting broken 632401[/snapback] Im sure it will. They said the samething about Aaron record, Mcgwire record etc.
December 11, 200421 yr That one is never getting broken 632401[/snapback] Im sure it will. They said the samething about Aaron record, Mcgwire record etc. 632418[/snapback] Well you can't use the clear and andro to break a winning seasons streak.
December 12, 200421 yr That one is never getting broken 632401[/snapback] Im sure it will. They said the samething about Aaron record, Mcgwire record etc. 632418[/snapback] OK, you get a team to have a winning record 40 straight years. That would require 2 or 3 generations worth of talented players. In this era of baseball, high salaries, arbitration, and heavy reliance on the draft, this won't happen again. The Braves streak of 14 gets everyone wowing, that's 25 less! This and DiMaggio's record are safe and sound for a LONG time.

December 12, 200421 yr Unless the structure of Major League Baseball changes within the next 30 years, there's no reason the current Yanks shouldn't pass that mark. They shouldn't even come close to .500 for a long time.
December 13, 200421 yr i wonder... did the strike of '94 count during these win streaks? 633370[/snapback] yes it did
