The most wins in a season before the schedule was increased to 162 games was by the 1906 Chicago Cubs who won 116 games. This is still the record for most wins in an MLB regular season. It was tied in 2001 by the Seattle Mariners.
Technically yes, it's two games over a .500 season. With .500 being a 50-50 split between wins and losses. (81 wins/81 losses for a full 162 game season)
The Seattle Mariners posted their best record in 2001. They finished the season with 116 wins and 46 losses. They set the American League record and also tied a Major League record for most wins during a 162-game season.
162, The CHICAGO stockings went undefeated in 1907. it was CRAZYYY!!
The 2001 Seattle Mariners and 1906 Chicago Cubs have that record with 116 wins in an MLB season.This was actually done twice. First by the Chicago Cubs in 1906 with 116 wins, and then the Seattle Mariners did the same in 2001. Unlike the Mariners the Cubs had a 152 game season, so they could have achieved more wins because the Mariners season was 162 games long.
