Unbelievable Slumps: Discover Which MLB Team Sets the Record for the Worst Season Start Ever!
2. 0-14 – 1997 Chicago Cubs (April 1-20)
It was another dismal start to a season for the franchise that was known as the lovable losers for much of the last century. They wound up tied for the worst record in the National League at 68-94, but would get back to the postseason a year later.
T-3. 0-13 – 1904 Washington Senators (April 14-May 4)
T-3. 0-13 – 1920 Detroit Tigers (April 14-May 2)
Longest Losing Streak at Home to Start a Season
1. 0-17 – 1913 New York Yankees (April 17-June 6)
It’s difficult to imagine any Yankees team opening a season with 17 straight defeats at Yankee Stadium. But the 1913 team wasn’t the juggernaut that we’ve come to know with Ruth, Gehrig and Co. The Yanks finished 57-94 and ahead of only the St. Louis Browns in the AL standings.
