The 2018 Boston Red Sox broke the 100 win total for the first time since 1946. This was the 3rd longest time elapsed for a 100 win season. Name the other two teams with longer streaks.

So let me get this straight, you are asking what is the longest time a franchise has gone in between having 100 win seasons? If that is the question, I will guess A’s and Giants.

Pirates haven't won 100+ since 1909 White Sox haven't won 100+ since 1917
Red Sox were 3rd, haven't had a 200+ win season since 1946

What about my guesses of A’s and Giants? Athletics went from 1931 to 1971 w/o a 100+, 40 years
Giants went from 1913 to 1962 w/o a 100+, 49 years
Cubs went from 1935 to 2016 w/o a 100+, 81 years
Pirates streak is 109 years, White Sox is 101 years.

The Senators became the Twins. Two different Senators, of course. The Walter Johnson Senators became the Twins in 1960. The expansion Senators became the Rangers in 1972. The Padres almost moved to DC in 1974. Even Topps was on board.
Yo, John, what are you looking at? UFO, fireworks, an angel?

I even googled this today and missed that bit. |

I even googled this today and missed that bit. Senators 2.0 has to be the most boring team in baseball history, maybe in all of North American sports. I have a lot of late 60's cards, and I have to struggle to come up with more than a handful of Sens. Frank Howard, of course. After that, you have Claude Osteen, more famous as a Dodger, Camilo Pasqual, a decent pitcher and Ed Stroud, who had a great nickname, "The Creeper". Of the organizations top 24 players, per Baseball Reference, only two were Senators. Frank Howard and the household name, Ken McMullen. Other than this guy, of course.

I read Seasons in Hell about the 73 - 75 Rangers, but it wasn't very good. I was expecting lots of funny Major League level of mediocrity but it didn't come through.

I'm fascinated with awful baseball teams. One of my favorite subjects is the Yankees in the "Horace Clarke" era, 1965-1974. Also the God-awful A's from 1915 to 1926. The 1962 Mets, the 1899 Cleveland Spiders etc. But the Senators/Rangers just doesn't have that "yuck" factor. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ, boring. The franchise has never been good enough to be interesting (except for two years) and never been bad enough to be interesting. Plenty of losses but no personality.
