The Spiders' record for road losses is literally unbreakable. As teams are limited on how many road games they can play each season, as long as that doesn't change, the Spiders' record can't even be approached.

What about unusual situations like when the Montreal Expos only played something like a quarter of their games in Montreal in 2004 before moving to Washington? Heck, the Blue Jays don't technically have a single home game this season in 2020, although there's only 60 of them compared to the usual 81 road games.

I first heard of the 1899 Spiders in a book from over 20 years ago called, "On a Clear Day, They Could See 7th Place." But this laid out how awful The Spiders were. After the 1899 season, the ownership of two teams was banned. 4 teams were also contracted. Cleveland and Baltimore were among them.

[@FoolishBaseball]

Yeah Cleveland certainly weren't the only club in deep financial trouble at the time.

[@edalder2000]

Weirdly enough, only one of those teams to fold - the Louisville Colonels - never had another team replace them in that city (the Spiders had the Guardians, the Senators had two teams also named the Senators - both of whom left to become the Twins and Rangers, respectively - and the Nationals, and the Orioles had two teams also named the Orioles - the original one who are now the Yankees and the current one).

Quinn being head of the rejects is fantastic and sums up Ipswich perfectly. (Though he is still the first Aussie in MLB so I guess it's also a win for Ipswich.. Damn.) Also, this video has about 33,000 views with 514 comments and there's about half a dozen from Ipswich.. I wonder what the odds are on that. Is it a surprisingly high chance like the birthday thing where you only need 23 people to have a 50% chance of a shared birthday or is there a general oddity going on here.
