Making history not only as the first professional club, the 1869 Red Stockings also ran off the longest winning streak in baseball history. Although there was no league yet established, the Red Stockings defeated all 15 of the upper tier teams and also clobbered a number of lesser clubs. Their final official record was 57-0. They never lost until 1971 when they fell 15-13 to the Boston Red Stockings (Braves). |
