I continue to be impressed by the original logos used by the franchises for the season in which the record was set. I was quite surprised to see the Angels come in at 30th. place in this list in 1980. Coming off their first pennant in 1979 I had no idea they’d dropped off a cliff the next season. Love these lists and definitely look forward to seeing more in the future.

[@chrishall6419]

Yeah I noticed too...good work...ever notice that the Ravens never are associated with the Cleveland Browns?

[@kevinmiller6380]

@@chrishall6419 What do the Cleveland Browns/Baltimore Ravens have to do with MLB and the worst season in each team's history?

[@chrishall6419]

Kevin Miller I was simply pointing out that I liked seeing the franchise's history...I'm sure I know more than most people about baseball...so I hope you get in a better mood soon...

[@revevil]

They take the time to get the appropriate logos but can't be bothered to use the correct team names?

[@RacingF8n]

Also can’t forget the Cleveland’s spiders

[@alantorres6097]

Yep. Their record in 1899 was a terrible 20-134. They were so bad that year that after a while they decided to play the remainder of their games on the road because they were afraid of their own fans. I can't say I blame them.

[@EscudosdeTimes]

.130 😱

[@colinmerritt7645]

Yeah. Guy who owned the Spiders also owned the St L Perfectos (Cardinals) and gave all the good Spiders including Cy Young to St. Louis.

Love your channel

[@RacingF8n]

It’s really sad seeing these win percentage go down

[@Steeevey1222]

The Rockies have always been bad... but they have never been BAD lol

[@Hypodrize]

it's insane to think that in even the worst MLB seasons, the teams at least had about three times as many wins as losses, whereas an NFL teams having that same win % happens every single season

[@ilikeamazon]

Coming soon, the 2023 Oakland A's.

[@doodlebob6397]

As an angels fan I am suprised for them to even be on number 30

[@HufflepuffBaseball42313]

I’m genuinely surprised the Yankees aren’t in the bottom 10

[@smalliebigs101]

Bottom 20 at least. Phew!

[@LessGo7921]

Even tho Brewers been mired in mediocrity forever, that 02 season was the one bad outlier. Before that and immediately after, they went right back to 70-80 win seasons

[@EscudosdeTimes]

The Nationals just finished .340

[@randomflames9590]

36-117 well damn

[@ivangutierrez646]

What about the 1899 Cleveland spiders they finished 20-134

[@michaelleroy9281]

1980 Angels one season after their best one 1979 they won a division

[@alantorres6097]

I remember the Tigers' 2003 season very well. With six games remaining in the season, they were 38-118. This meant that even if they split their final six games they would have surpassed the '62 Mets for most losses in the modern era. However, they pulled the proverbial rabbit out of the hat and won five of their last six to finish at 43-119 and save themselves from breaking an embarrassing record set by arguably the worst team in MLB history.

[@smalliebigs101]

My dad is from Michigan. He remembers those awful 2000’s teams. He says it doesn’t hurt him, especially when he thinks about the 70s-80s teams.

In 1943 weren't they,the team named. New York Giants ?

[@Rolling_Coasters]

Why do you show logos accurate to the time but current names?

[@TheEgganator324]

I'm surprised Marines and Cubs are so low

[@scootscootriot1020]

Angels “worst” season by winning percentage was .406. I wish the Indi… I mean Guardians would have killed to have that back in the 60’s - 80’s

[@michaelleroy9281]

Montreal ( now Washington) and San Diego were both 52-110 in 1969

[@TheEgganator324]

You trade everyone that made that team good

[@krissmonte6374]

In 1905 werent they named the. Brooklyn. Dodgers ?

[@richardcheng7563]

I believe they were known as the Brooklyn Robins.

[@octoberbaseballyt]

I would say do worst records in recent years, but their would be way too many orioles on that list 😂

[@mateuszjasinski3702]

I am an Orioles fan. The struggle is too real.

[@blanktime]

It’s a struggle being an orioles fan

[@jtp2007]

For those saying the 1899 Cleveland Spiders should be included. They should not as their season happened before MLB was established in 1903. That being said, neither should the 1898 Cardinals, not sure why they are on this list

[@insertfunnynamehere8000]

I think the difference is that the Cardinals still exist, the Spiders do not

[@damnmarkey]

Congratulations to all 29 teams that is not the worst of the worst. Lol

[@blue-prod1]

Early

[@danielscheeler5559]

The 1998 Marlins, the year after winning the World Series, had their worst ever season. You go from the highest high, to the lowest low.

[@SarahWestTheXanaduQueen]

@Lighthouse in the Storm Yep, The Philadelphia Athletics also did just that after a 1914 World Series loss to The Boston Braves to a 43-109 season in 1915.

[@humphreygruntwhistle3946]

The 1998 Marlins payroll was less than 1/3 of what it was the year before. A unwatchable garbage team after the World Series roster was gutted.

[@TheEgganator324]

Both the Sox had their worst season in 1932

[@krissmonte6374]

They smelled like feet for one year 😊

[@stevenbauer4799]

Tigers have had some really lousy seasons. The a l worst 43-119 of '03 season. If tigers don't pull a few games out of their asses late that season they would have beat mets 120 losses. Also lost 102 in '75 the year prior to the bird. Lost another 114 with 47 wins in '19 season under ron 'i'm just here to drink and collect a paycheck' gardenhire including an a l record of 58 home losses. A year so bad it drove tv announcers mario i. and rod alllen to come to blows after a game in chicago against sox. Also lost 98 games in '18 season under gardy and 98 in '17 season under assmus. Three straight seasons of 98 + losses for tigers.

[@JohnSmith-zw8vp]

You forgot the worst team of all...the 1899 Cleveland Spiders

[@shadyphoenix]

#18 is unrealistic

[@shadyphoenix]

@Lighthouse in the Storm yes

[@ericalaverdyan1666]

Go Los Dodgers!!

[@ItsMe-np5ln]

This list is wrong, anyone who knows anything about baseball knows about the notorious Cleveland Spiders in 1899 who went 20-134 a .130 winning percentage. Why aren’t they on here?

[@kevinmiller6380]

It's Me-No it's not. The are the worst seasons by team in MLB history, post 1900, even though the 1898 St. Louis Cardinals ARE on here, so in a way you're right.

[@TheEgganator324]

It's because they folded and aren't a franchise anymore
