The 2017 Cleveland Indians, err, 2017 Cleveland Guardians? IDK, anyway, they had a 22 game win streak. It wasn't that long ago, but you may have forgotten! The Cleveland 22 game win streak is an MLB record for the most part. The 1916 Giants technically won 26 without losing, but had a tie in the middle of that streak.

Of course, 22 in a row is better than 20, the modern mark set by the 2002 Oakland Athletics AKA the Moneyball A's. It's a streak that was chronicled in both the bestselling book and 2011 Moneyball movie, starring Brad Pitt as Billy Beane. In this episode of Baseball Bits, a Foolish Baseball production, I'll be making my pitch for a sequel titled Moneyball 2: 2 Money 2 Ball.

I'll need a Hollywood cast for this movie. Who will play Mike Chernoff? Terry Francona? Jose Ramirez? Francisco Lindor? All will be answered as I deftly form the plot of my Moneyball sequel all while analyzing the MLB record win streak. The hardest part is figuring out how to outdo the Chris Pratt Scott Hatteberg casting.
