The 1906-10 Chicago Cubs team was the best team in League history, and here are their achievements:
1906: They won 116 games, posted the highest season winning percentage in history (.763), finishing 20 games ahead of the second place, the New York Giants. Their longest losing streak lasted only for three games.
1907: Chicago stayed on the top with 107 wins, 17 games up on the second-place Pittsburgh Pirates. The Cubs took over first on May 28, and by July 4, they were already 11 1/2 games ahead of everyone else.
1908: Chicago fought in a three-way pennant race – probably the greatest ever – winning one game over arch-rivals New York and Pittsburgh. The Cubs finished with 99 wins, the only year of the five the cubs failed to reach 100 wins.
1909: The Cubs improved to 104 wins, but Pittsburgh finished with 110 wins.
1910: Chicago finished with 104 wins, and grabbed their fourth Pennant. They were ahead 13 games ahead of second-place New York.
