No one counts it because it didn't finish. It was a season that didn't end because of the strike.

Here are some people that you can argue this with:

CBS Sports - "an unprecedented 11th straight division title."

ESPN - "Braves winning their 11th straight NL East title"

CNN/SI - "The Braves clinched their 11th straight division title on Monday"

Associated Press - "Braves clinch 11th straight division title"

USA Today - "After clinching their 11th consecutive division championship in a full season"

Newsday - "Braves Clinch 11th Straight Title"

Sporting News - "Atlanta...properly celebrating its 11th straight division championship."
