As of the beginning of the 2007 playoffs, since MLB when to three levels of playoffs (Divisional Series, Championship Series, World Series) the answer is no. When there was only two levels (Championship Series, World Series), the 1976 Cincinnati Reds defeated the Philadelphia Phillies 3 games to 0 in the NLCS and the New York Yankees 4 games to 0 in the World Series. They are the only team to go undefeated in the playoffs since MLB went to the divisional format in 1969.

Yes. Lou Gehrig, like every other baseball player, has lost games during the season. He was a first baseman and part of a team.
Not in MLB but the Philadelphia Athletics were as close as you can come ... they went 99-53 in 1914 and 43-109 in 1915.
The 1906 Cubs went 116-36, which is the "modern" record. In the 1880s, certain league that were considered "major leagues" only had 60-game schedules, so of course some of those teams lost fewer than 36, but consider this the "official" record.
Logically, it would be the Seattle Mariners, as they are the furthest geographically from any other team in their division.
