Note: This article ran after the Yankees’ 13-game winning streak in 2021 came to a close. Now, their 11-gamer from 2022 has been added.
Earlier in 2021, the A’s went on a 13-game winning streak that inspired me to take a look back in Yankees history at the longest runs of their own. I had a feeling that it’d been awhile since the Yankees had even remotely approached their franchise record from 1947 of 19, which had also been the American League record for decades. However, I definitely hadn’t realized just how scarce winning streaks longer than 10 had been since the ‘47 champions.
