History of the American League 1901-2023

Twenty Two Games of Fame
On August 24, 2017, the Cleveland Indians win, 13–6, over the Boston Red Sox to split a four-game series after dropping the previous night's game by a score of 6–1. The Tribe is now back in the win column, and no player or fan could guess what is to come. From August 24 through September 14, 2017, the Cleveland Indians put together a stretch of wins that propelled them to the best record in the American League and set the record for the longest continuous win streak in Major League Baseball history. The Indians played and swept six consecutive series to win twenty-two straight games, the longest winning streak without a loss or tie ever recorded. Cleveland's pitching and hitting were so dominant they outscored their opponents by a total of 105 runs and had a collective team ERA below 2.0. This book includes an in-depth chronicle of every game of the historic win streak and exciting quotes from Tom Hamilton and others that put you right in the middle of this improbable run by the Tribe. Relive the most dominant win streak in the modern Major League era!
