With Wang (2006 and 2007), Mussina (2008), and Sabathia (2009 and 2010), the Yankees have had a pitcher win at least 19 games for five consecutive years. Pettitte (2000 and 2003), Clemens (2001), and Wells (2002) gave the Yankees a four year streak earlier in the 2000s. No other team has had a four or more year streak like that in the 2000s. Before the Yankees, the previous team to have a pitcher with at least 19 wins for at least five consecutive years was Atlanta for six years from 1995 to 2000. Atlanta could have had a ten year streak from 1991 to 2000 if not for the strike in 1994 when nobody won more than 17 games.
