I don't have the official numbers off the top of my head so I'm looking, but I'm pretty sure it was the Seattle mariners in 2001 with 116. I just looked it up and that's right. They actually tied the record with the 1906 Cubs, but I believe the Cubs played less games.

I say DiMaggio's hit streak is tied w/ Cal Ripkens consecutive games streak. Which is easier to get? Well nowadays w/ specialty bullpen pitchers you have to face more pitchers than DiMaggio did to get the streak. Also, Ripken's probably harder to do w/ all the ways you could get hurt (him being a SS too for so long), but they said no one would ever pass Gehrig either. I can see both of them being broken in our lifetime, but to pick one or the other I can't. They are by FAR the 2 hardest records to reach. Rickey's SB record would be 3rd. I acknoledge the fact that Cy Youngs 511 wins and Ryan's 5714 K's are probably untouchable. HOWEVER, it would not be fair to compare different eras because we use a 5 man rotation now. Ryan and Young didn't have to worry about that. We also have pitch counts that they never had to worry about. I would say a young pitcher COULD get there if we didn't have these guidelines in baseball, but w/ pitching at such a premium it will never happen. So that's why I didn't name them first. It's just not a fair fight anymore.

The best was the '01 Mariners, with a 116-46 record (.716). And they didn't even make it into the World Series.
