The Orioles' 2018 season earned one last bit of ignominy before a new year begins Tuesday.
According to the data at FiveThirtyEight, the Orioles' 42-115 season that netted them the No. 1 pick in next summer's MLB draft wasn't only the worst in baseball, but the worst in all of sports last year.
The site used its ELO rating system and put it in context of a particular sport, as a good rating in baseball might be middling in the NBA, and found that the Orioles had the worst year of any team in sports.
