Six wins in a row by the Red Sox in April, beats their longest streak of five wins during the entire 2007 “Champions Again” season. Papi’s non-hitting streak is over, and Youk continues his streak of errorless games. Although MIT Sox fans helped start a cottage industry of statistics concerning baseball, arguably the single greatest streak in American professional sports is the eight championships in a row that the Boston Celtics won from 1958-1966. They are favored to win it again this year, which would make it, even with the Patriots heartbreak, the winningest year ever for Boston sports.
