What was the worst record in a baseball season?

the detroit tigers were also 40-120.

Basically a stat that depicts the teams win/loss record.  A team at the .500 mark has an equal amount of wins and losses.

It was Jeffey Leonard of the San Francisco Giants vs the St Louis Cardinals. This from a guy who hit only 17 HR for the season.

I know the A's have the AL record from 4 or 5 years ago when they won 20 straignt.  I believe the New York Giants hold the overall record with 25-30 way back in the day.

Not enough pitching, hitting or fielding.  But probably the worst is that a lot of times they just aren't playing good baseball.  Awhile back there was a runner on their and the pitcher decided to try to pick him off..problem was no one told the 3rd baseman and the ball went into the stands.  They are constantly missing curofff's and making poor baserunning decisions.

Yes, and my state also has the honor of the WORST record in the NBA.\n\nLadies & Gentlemen, I give you the Portland "Jail"-Blazers...

It is hard to say. These are two of the weakest teams in baseball right now. The outcome would depend on who the starting pitchers are, who has home field advantage, etc. Records mean nothing. Last teams place teams beat first place all the time in major league baseball. Thanks.

Nobody will ever say they suck, they just fail under pressure.  1-14 is no good any way you slice it.  The Yankees, Toronto have the best shots, Mets, maybe.  Jones, Chipper and Smoltz cannot carry a team of no names into the series.

The 1927 New York Yankees they went 110–44 only four teams have won more regular season games (the record of 116 is held by the 2001 Seattle Mariners)The '27 Yankees batted .307, slugged .489, scored 975 runs, and outscored their opponents by a record 376 runs. \n\nTheir powerful lineup was called "Murderers' Row." \n\nCenterfielder Earle Combs had a career year, batting .356 with 231 hits, leftfielder Bob Meusel batted .337 with 103 RBIs, and second baseman Tony Lazzeri drove in 102 runs. Lou Gehrig batted .373, with 218 hits, 52 doubles, 18 triples, 47 home runs, 175 RBIs, slugged at .765, and was voted A.L. MVP.\n\nThe pitching staff led the league in ERA at 3.20, and included Waite Hoyt, who went 22–7, and Herb Pennock, who went 19–8. Wilcy Moore won 19 as a reliever.Their pitching was also good, ranking first in the major leagues in lowest earned run average (ERA) that season. Waite Hoyt tied for the league lead in wins with 22, and Three other Yankees pitchers had ERAs under 3.00 that season.\n\nThe 1927 Yankees would eventually send six players to the Baseball Hall of Fame.

1927. It had the classic Murderers Row of Ruth who hit 60 hom runs without steroids and Lou Gehrig. The Yankees 110–44 in that year, winning the A.L. pennant by 19 games, and sweeping the Pittsburgh Pirates in the World Series. Only four teams have won more regular season games (the record of 116 is held by the 2001 Seattle Mariners).\n\nThe 1961, 1998 and 1939 teams were all great and would probably be the best year ever in most other ball clubs.

You could use a bunch of different measuring sticks.  Last year's NL East had the top four teams finish within 7 games of each other, while the West had the last place team only 15 games behind the division winner, the same as the 1996 NL Central.  The 1995 NL West (only 4 teams) had an 11 game gap between first and last, but that season was strike-shortened, as was 1994 when the 4 teams in the AL West were within 5 1/2 games of each other.  The 2004 AL West had the top three teams within 3 games of each other.\n\nIf we're only going to go back to the 3-division format in each league, those have been the closest races.

I think it's highly possible.  Not only Cubs are playing well this season, Marlins is also the one of worst teams in MLB right now.

In pinstripes-not good.

Going into this season the Giants have a 1062-1029 record against the Giants.\n\nSo they played a total of 2091 games, not counting the games they have played this season.

Since the season is only a few weeks old, you have to go with the Boston Red Sox.  They have the best record in baseball at 11-4.  And of course, the Bears have a long way to go before they have any success outside the football field.

Well, since I have to omitt the top players (I'll still say Griffey, jr.), I'd have to say that the worst loss was Jason Varitek.\n\nWow, I had no idea SO MANY of them went to the BoSox!

The Cubs did win the World Series a couple of times, though the people who remember the event are becoming as scarce as survivors of the Titanic.  (The Cubs last won it in 1908, when Teddy Roosevelt was president.)\n\nAs for a single game, on May 26, 1964 the Mets beat the Cubs 19-1.\n\nStatistically, I do not know what was the Cubs' worst season ever, but their most humiliating season had to be 1966, when they became the first team to ever finish behind the Mets; the Cubs were tenth and dead last that year.  People joked that Leo Durocher, the Cubs' manager, had become a nice guy.\n\n(There were only seven years when a National League team could finish in tenth place, 1962 through 1968.  In that stretch the Mets finished last five times, the Cubs once and the Astros once.  The Mets finished ninth in the two years they didn't finish tenth.  And then they won the World Series.)
