With the Indians' 3-2 win over the Kansas City Royals on Thursday evening, the Indians added to their American League record winning streak. Also, they surpassed the 1935 Chicago Cubs' streak of 21 wins. Will they be able to perform the feat which many baseball historians believe is impossible, that is, will they be able to topple the 1916 New York Giants' record of 26 consecutive wins?
