The 1996 Major League Baseball season was the Cleveland Indians' third season at Jacobs Field. For the second consecutive season, the Indians had the best record in Major League Baseball. This was the first time in franchise history that the Indians had accomplished that feat.[1] Between May 30 and August 19, the Indians hit at least one double in each of 75 games, the longest such streak in MLB since 1901.[2]
