Falconsfan567 Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Here is an interesting note I discovered myself. It comes from Bobby Cox's original stint as Braves manager. On August 4th, 1980 the Braves were 46-58. They then went 30-10 in their next 40 games and finished the season at 81-80. How awesome is that? There can't be many streaks better than that in baseball history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a basketball coach @ UCLA, Wooden, I think was his name, that had a couple of good streaks but I believe thatfourteen in a row is the best ever. Yeah, I'm a bit of a homer, but the record speaks for itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nobkowski Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 I don't know how to spell facishious,but that's what I was being. That was a hail-of-a finish to the season that year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
