    Fun fact: Trevor Bauer was the starter in Cleveland's 23rd game that they lost. He was also the starter for UCLA's 23rd game after a 22 game win streak in 2010.

    As a 16 year old fan who grew up watching this team, I'm glad I got to grow up watching something special. It's one thing to be a fan of some other team who watched this win streak after it was already historic, but it's another thing to watch it as a fan of the winning team before you even knew what was coming. I was devastated in the 2016/17 losses, but hopefully we can have our chance again soon.

      @mrmacross 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Most overlooked player of the 2002 Athletics. Everyone mentions that the A's had three aces, and Lidle wasn't an ace, but he was a good fourth starter. He was worth more than three and a half wins above replacement by either WAR metric. You don't win 100 games if your 4th guy is mediocre. If nothing else, he was certainly more important than anyone featured in the movie or book, but his story wasn't one that you write books or movies about. That doesn't mean he shouldn't at least be recognized as being a key contributor to the team.

    It really amazes me how this team came to a screeching halt. I believe to finish off the regular season, they went around 35-4, which does include the 22 game win streak. The 2 games in the playoffs, which obviously includes that iconic game 2. They had all the momentum in the world other side. As a Cleveland fan, this still stings. Hopefully we’ll make another deep playoff run, and maybe even win the World Series.

    I'm convinced that while this is an impressive feat the reality is that there are so many variables that make up the game that variance plays too large a factor. It's why so many games are played a season compared to other sports. It's why the very best teams of the live ball era have win loss records of somewhere in the low .7 range and why this and the 2002 Oakland run is down to variance swinging wildly in one direction, just like it did this season for the Angels to lose 14 in a row after starting the season with such a high win percentage.

      @@pohorex6834 I don't consider variance and luck the same thing. Luck is a deck of cards being shuffled and there being a 60 percent chance that order has never existed before in history (true stat). Variance implies a multitude of variables. The barometric pressure, relative humidity, how well the bats have adapted to the new environment after being flown in, were the balls mudded properly, the the pitcher apply too much sticky stuff this at bat, the environmental factors are so multitudinous and mind numbing before you ever get the the players themselves.

    This video is quite difficult/painfil to watch from about the 5:20 mark forward, for I happen to be a lifelong diehard KC Royals fan--I know, diehard Royals fans are rare and hard to come by nowadays, HOWEVER, I was born in Kansas City, Missouri, nearly 36 years ago, and have lived within 30 miles of KCMO every year since. And it just happens that, being born in the first week of November 1986, it was almost exactly 1 year after the Royals had just won their first World Series in 1985. And for anyone who knows baseball, and in particular, Royals baseball, that 1985 WS victory also marked the last time we would even reach the playoffs for nearly 30 years, when in 2014, we'd surprisingly win the wild card and to make our first playoffs in 29 years, then surprise the world even more by sweeping our way into the World Series without losing a single Playoff game before heartbreakingly losing to the SF Giants in 7 games.
    Of course we'd go on to make our second playoffs in a row the next season, have a slightly bumpier journey to the WS but make it there nonetheless, then go on to smoke 🚬 the NY Mets 4 games to 1, thus exactly 30 years after their previous WS title in 1985, Royals won the 2015 WS and would mark their 2nd franchise WS Banner and also their last WS banner and also the last time seeing the playoffs.
    THANKS to the Indians in 2017, for what it doesn't mention in this video, but we were only 4.5 games back of Cleveland nearing the end of August before we eventually collapsed and, as we see in this video, Cleveland flourished with the longest winning streak in baseball history.
    And since that 2017 season, my Royals haven't even sniffed the playoffs, havent had a .500 season, and have been essentially out of the playoff hunt by May each of those seasons.

    ROYCE CLAYTON?!? He played AA ball for the Giants AA team, the Captains. They played here. ROYCE was a beast in Texas League Baseball back in the early 90s. Like 1990, 91. We had more than a few future major leaguers come through that organization back then. We were the best team in Texas League ball. Chili Davis played here. Tim Wakefields catcher, Doug Mirabelli, played here about the same time ROYCE did, IIRC.
    Cody Bellingers dad, Clay Bellinger, played here. So did Rich Aurilia, Rick Honeycutt, and some a few others.

    Cleveland in 2016: Their season ends on 3 straight losses in the postseason.
    Cleveland in 2017: Their season ends on 3 straight losses in the postseason.
    Cleveland in 2018: Their season ends on 3 straight losses in the postseason.
    They had a system of consistency...
