However, if you check Cecil Cooper, I bet he's had a longer than 17-game hit streak at some point in his career, so it no longer registers that hit streak on the season's leaderboard, just because it's not the longest one he's ever had. It's a subtle bug that probably hasn't gotten enough "press" to be squashed.
I'm pretty sure that's what's happening here, as I researched it when it happened in one of my old OOTP12 leagues, and that's what I found, so that was my working theory. JMDurron, can you take a look at the Streaks of those players and see if you can confirm?

That makes sense to me. Cooper had a (rough numbers due to not having the game open and I'm running out the door in a moment) 34 game streak back in 1979, and none of his streaks have stuck around since then. Dawson just had a 19 game streak maintain, and I'm pretty sure he's never had a longer one. It's now 1982, Cooper's streak was 17 games, and vanished once it was over.
If I go to Cooper's Streaks page, I see the 34 gamer only. Your theory makes sense.
