Barney, please edit your title to "Warning-coffee spewing thread ahead."
If my memory is correct, the Milwaukee Brewers either made a very serious run at or beat this losing streak record sometime in the 80's, at least twice. And this was a year or two after they set a winning streak record. A local burger chain for years had a slogan 'free burgers if the Brewers win 20 in a row." They paid out when the Brewers did it-there was huge lines for free (White-Castle quality) burgers, one per customer. When the Brewers were on their losing streaks, the town joke was do we all have to go back to George Webb and give them a burger?
