I think we're gonna need you to narrow it down a bit... a league or an era or something else to go on...

He had an extremely amusing first name.

Oil Can Boyd never won a Cy Young! :lol:

And it almost has to be Gaylord Perry.

16 losses for the Indians, in some year in the 70's. At first, I actually thought it was Ferguson Jenkins for the Cubs, but he was a whopping 6 behind. Your move, Incandenza.

Well, here's a quick and somewhat easy one:

What team in the four major sports holds the record for the longest winning streak?

If you get it, go ahead and post your own question, as I'm going to be a bit scarce over the next few days.

Miami Dolphins would be the obvious pick for me if it were an NFL team, but I doubt that's right. So I'm going with the Montreal Canadiens, hopefully that's right.

Dead thread.

Wow, I thought that was a reasonably easy one...

Here's hint #1: the record is held by a basketball team

Lakers

actually I am thinking it might actually be the lakers although the bulls wouldn't surprise me upon a 2nd reading of it

The Lakers it is. And spurgistan, I did say that it was in one of the four major sports, the implication being a pro team, otherwise it prolly would be UCLA.

You're up, serbia.
