Unveiling MLB’s Most Infamous Season: Which Team Holds the Record for the Worst Performance Ever?

T-4. 40-120 (.250) – 1962 New York Mets

It’s safe to say the Mets had a disappointing inaugural season, beginning their tenure as a franchise by losing their first nine games. At one point, they dropped 17 straight, which was just six shy of the longest losing streak in MLB history set by the Phillies a year before. And as the icing on the cake, they had a horrendous team ERA of 5.04 – about half a run above the next-worst team.

Even more notable is the fact that no other modern MLB team has lost 120 games in a season (but with 119 losses, the 2003 Tigers came close). However, the Mets did find their footing relatively quickly, both making the playoffs for the first time and winning the World Series just seven years later.
