Wouldn't 21 actually tie MLB record for longest WINNING streak?
The 1916 Giants went undefeated in 26 straight but had a game end in a tie after win 12 & before win 13.
The actual longest Winning streak (with no ties) belongs to the 1935 Cubs who won 21 in row and then went on to lose the World Series to the Detroit Tigers.
The 1916 Giants who went undefeated for 26 straight games still finished in 4th place. Ouch
The 2002 A's who won 20 straight lost the AL Divisional Series to the Twins.
Maybe winning all these games in a row is not a good sign for the Tribe!
