24 Consecutive Wins by Carl Hubbell

In the 1930s and 40s, no pitcher could rival the great Carl Hubbell of the New York Giants. He won over twenty games every season from 1933 to 1937 and had only one losing season (in which he lost only one game more than he won) in his sixteen seasons of play. No one ever thought he'd out-do his performance in the 1934 All Star Game in which he struck out five men in a row, who's names just happened to be Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Jimmie Foxx, Al Simmons, and Joe Cronin, but from July 17, 1936 to May 27, 1937 he set a new mark, one that has yet to be reached.

In the twenty-seven games he appeared in during that span, King Carl had twenty-four consecutive wins with only three no decisions. It took Hubbell only 207.2 innings to accomplish one of the greatest pitching feats in baseball history and lead his team to two consecutive World Series appearances. The nine time All Star and 1936 Most Valuable Player recipient was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1947, ten years after his great accomplishment.
