Indians with 14 game win streaks in back to back seasons has only happened twice before.  35/36 Cubs,  and once before that but can't remember the details.  Still very rare. 

There have been 27 at 15 or more, where they are now, and if they win tonight, it will be the 20th longest ever, and longest since 1977.  

The funny thing is, Arizona has a 13 game streak going and it is flying under the radar.

Longest recently is 2002 with the A's at 20.  Moneyball streak.

And they're now only 10 games back of the Dodgers.

In the 1934 World Series, St. Louis Cardinals pitchers Dizzy and Daffy Dean - brothers - each won two games as the Gashouse Gang defeated the Detroit Tigers 4 games to 3.  They are the only brothers to account for all 4 victories on a World Series winning team.

The only other pitching brother combo I can recall was the Leiters and the Niekros.  Oh wait  Perry too.  Was there Benes brothers too?

Yep, they were bros.  I forgot about them!  A few I recall off the top of my head:

Rick & Paul Reuschel
Greg & Mike Maddux
Ramon & Pedro Martinez
Jeff & Jered Weaver

There's more but I'd have to look them up.

Martinez and Maddux!  Forgot about them!

Didn't realize this but "El Duque" Orlando Hernandez is Livan's half-brother.  Between the two of them, 5x World Series Champions (Orlando 4, Livan 1), 2 LCS MVPs (1 each), & a WS MVP (Livan).

Jose Canseco has the most famous pitching appearance by a position player and his twin, Ozzy, was a decent minor league pitcher.

Bob and Ken Forsch had a nice run.

 
There are quite a few pitching brothers that did pretty well. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1174218-25-best-brother-pitching-acts-in-mlb-history

Trivia:
David Ross hit a home run in his final Major League at-bat, helping the Cubs to victory in the 2016 World Series.  What former Cub did Ross hit his 1st career Major League home run off of?

(Hint: The former Cub was not playing for the Cubs when served the HR to Ross)

F Me In The Brain

Didn't he homer off Andrew Miller?
I didn't think he was a cub....

Never mind, I didn't read properly!

gonna guess Maddux. Nope I looked it up

mrussel1

I'm going Rick Sutcliffe.  This is a good guess since David Ross is older than Julio Franco.

Marlins 3rd team with a 50 hr and 50 sb teammates in the same season

I've never seen a team fall apart in the span of 2 week. like the Marlins. Blowing 9th innings leads. 2 wins in 2 weeks when they were on the cusp of a 2nd Wild Card spot. I know the Dodgers haven't been playing well either. But they can afford to lose at this point

2 of the greatest collapses that I saw were my Angels in 95 then Frisco when the Braves got stupid hot and took first place.

18 Games for the Indians.  Have the Tigers next.  Interested to see if they can break the record.  Love this team.
