What is the worst record in mlb history?

The worst record in MLB history belongs to the 1899 Cleveland Spiders. The team finished the season with a record of 20 wins and 134 losses, giving them a winning percentage of .130. This dismal performance can be attributed to a number of factors, including weak pitching, poor defense, and even financial constraints that limited the team's ability to attract top talent.

The Cleveland Spiders' record-setting season led to changes in the MLB scheduling system to prevent such a lopsided performance from happening again. The team's poor performance also led to a decline in attendance and revenue, ultimately leading to the franchise being disbanded after the 1899 season.

The Cleveland Spiders' record of 20-134 remains the worst in MLB history, making them infamous in baseball lore as the ultimate example of a team that struggled to find success on the field.
