Comparing the 1913 and 2016 road trip sweeps

Both of them featured a winning percentage of 1.000. You're welcome for doing the math on that one.

The Giants won every game on their last road trip, a feat that the team hadn't accomplished in a 7 or more game roadie since a newly elected Woodrow Wilson was still measuring drapes in the White House, though that was mostly because back then, people measured cloth for fun. But how do those road trip sweeps stack up against each other? Hey, let's find out!

The opponents

1913 - The New York Giants took 4 against a very good Phillies team, and then 4 again facing the very poor 1913 Brooklyn Dodgers, who at the time were also known by about a thousand other names, to the extent that on an individual Baseball Reference boxscore, they're called the Dodgers, but their 1913 team page calls them the Superbas.
