The Surprising MLB Team That Shattered Records and Still Stuns Fans Today
3. 116-36 (.763) – 1906 Chicago Cubs
Just five years after the start of the modern era, the Cubs set a record for single-season winning percentage – and it has stood untouched ever since. Their pitching staff was outstanding, with a stellar 1.75 team ERA. In fact, Hall of Famer Mordecai “Three Finger” Brown owned a 1.04 ERA on the season, the second lowest in the modern era. The team boasted a few more Cooperstown inductees, among them player-manager Frank Chance, who helped the Cubs reach a league-leading 4.55 runs per game. But despite finishing with the best record in MLB history, the Cubs ultimately lost 4-2 in the World Series to the Chicago White Sox, their crosstown rivals.
