1916 Philadelphia Athletics

[vrobx1]

The 1916 Philadelphia Athletics may have been the worst team in the Deadball Era, finishing with a record of 36-117. Some people consider them the worst team in American League history. Their .235 winning percentage is the lowest in the majors ever since the 20th Century began.

Hopefully, there won't be a bad schedule glitch like the one in 1904.
