The Padres best and worst records over 162 consecutive games

I was listening to Marty Caswell's interview with Padres GM Josh Byrnes earlier and he was referencing the fact that the Padres were doing quite well over the last 12 months. If you remember the 2012 team just started improving around this time and finished strong after a despicable start. This year's team has started off relatively well considering their poor play in the first 20 games.

I looked up the Padres record over the past 162 games and tweeted it out to the enjoyment of about 5 people.

That got me thinking.

I wondered what the Padres best record was over 162 consecutive games. Hours of hard work later I had my results. I limited my list to 99 wins and above because the Padres most wins in a regular season is 98. As you might have guessed most shared wins from 1998, but a couple were from 2009-2010 seasons which surprised me.

To be somewhat symmetrical I also figured out the Padres worst record over 162 consecutive games. I limited this result set to a list of 111 losses or more, since the most losses in history is 110. All of these listed share losses with the 1969 and 1970 seasons.
