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

6. 38-113 (.252) – 1904 Washington Senators

The Senators were no exception to the player-manager phenomenon of the early 20th century. In 1904, catcher Malachi Kittridge tried his hand as a skipper. But after the team’s dismal 1-16-1 start, he was relieved of his coaching duties. And his replacement, outfielder Patsy Donovan, was not much of an improvement (at least as manager for the Senators).

While the pitching staff was not terrible, the team’s hitters struggled. They homered only 10 times, combined for a league-low average of .227, and ranked last with a meager .288 OPS. The run support was so non-existent that three Washington pitchers had 20+ losses despite owning sub-4.00 ERAs.
