On 4 October 1906, the Cubs set a Major League mark for most wins in a season by collecting their 116th win against the St. Louis Cardinals.  Their final record was 116-36, giving them a .763 winning percentage.  In the 1906 World Series, however, the Cubs were upset by their crosstown rivals, the Chicago White Sox, losing four games to two.
