In 1869, the Cincinnati Red Stockings played in the first game ever by a professional baseball team. At 57–0, they had the longest winning streak in the sport's history and supposedly won more of them including exhibition games. After the club retained all players in 1870, its unbeaten streak extended to 81 games before the Brooklyn Atlantics defeated them in extra innings.
