Recently the Los Angeles Dodgers won 11 games straight. I wondered which team held the record for the longest winning streak and what year it took place.

The Giants' streak is not considered the record, since they had a tie in the middle of their 26-game streak.
The "official" record is held by the Cubs, who twice won 21 games in a row - first in 1880 when they were actually known as the White Stockings, then again in 1935. They did this with no ties, so they are the true record-holder.

The major league record of 26 consecutive victories was set by the New York Giants in 1916. The Giants was a professional baseball team that previously played in New York City from 1883 until 1957 when it moved to San Francisco, California and became the San Francisco Giants.
The A's only won 20 straight in 2002, not 25 as listed below.

The 1916 Giants won 26 in a row with a tie in the middle, and the 1935 Cubs won 21 in a row.
