Trivia: Which team lost a record 134 games in 1899?
Washington Senators
Pittsburgh Pirates
Philadelphia Athletics
Cleveland Spiders
The correct answer is Cleveland Spiders
So why is this answer correct? : The Cleveland Spiders weren’t always the worst team in the league, as Hall of Famer Cy Young pitched for the squad between 1890 and 1898. Upon Young’s departure, however, the Spiders went a measly 20-134 in 1899, earning the most losses in a single season and finishing 84 games out of first place. The team was in such bad shape that they ceased to exist upon the season’s completion.
