Despite former Arkansas baseball great Andrew Benintendi’s best efforts, the 2024 Chicago White Sox are quickly approaching the wrong side of history as the worst MLB team in the modern era (since 1900).
Since tying the record for most losses in a single season, the White Sox managed to sweep the Los Angeles Angels, winning the first two games via game-winning hits by the 2015 Golden Spikes Award winner before capping it with Thursday’s 7-0 blowout. Chicago now sits at 39-120 and would need to end the year on a six-game winning streak to eclipse the 1962 New York Mets, an expansion team in their first season that holds the record at 40-120.
