The First Streak ends at twenty-nine with a White Sox win on Tuesday (7-22), or will continue to thirty-one games with a loss (8-23). The remaining two series streaks depend on results of the scheduled three game series with Minnesota.

All three streaks have been updated to include all games and series played by the Chicago White Sox since the advent of Divisional Play. If someone can provide a source and link to automatically years prior to 1969, I will included these seasons as well.

Tony La Russa was involved in six of the eighteen streaks noted below, the most of any manager. Also of note, the 1970 White Sox played a half a season without winning a series. Would love to know if that is the longest streak in the history of MLB.

I think Savanna IL lost 75 straight football games. 

74. Their streak went from 1996 to 2003.

The record before that was 47 which my HS school tied in 1994.

This is the article when Savanna tied it originally in 2001.
