Here are Minnesota's final numbers for the season. Poor Oakland wins 89 games and is 52 freakin games out of first. They took the A.L. Series 4-2 and swept St.Louis in the Series. Maybe key to winning 37 in row and 141 on the season is a bit of luck: 27-7 in 1 run games and 9-2 in xtra innings.

Or maybe the fact that they could do that was because they had middle reliever god: A endurance, 10 ERA rating, 1.51 ERA with 125 IP and .81 WHIP. He basically would shut everyone down until Minnesota scored.

I looked through old Almanacs to see if any other teams had had long winning streaks, but couldn't figure out if there is a record kept somewhere. Does anybody know?
