Lefty Grove’s 21 doesn’t get the recognition that Joe DiMaggio’s 56 does.

Lefty is up there twice in the top 10. What a beast.

 

[MilkSpiller22]

I have lefty as the third best pitcher of all time.

Stats like this help out my argument.

Is this single season? Cuz Hubbell won 24 straight over 2 seasons




1) Carl Hubbell -- 24 straight wins
Streak: July 17, 1936 - May 27, 1937
Hubbell famously struck out five straight Hall of Famers in the 1934 All-Star Game and also hurled an 18-inning shutout in ‘33, so this streak is just one of several bolded points on his Cooperstown resume. It began with a shutout of the Pirates that put Hubbell’s Giants just two games over .500, but 15 more consecutive wins (including 13 more complete games) by Hubbell boosted New York to the National League pennant and earned Hubbell his second NL MVP award.

Yeah. I had the StatHead filter set for 162 games from the start of the season. Carl Hubbell shows the value of the screwball.
