The 1932 Red Sox were the definition of awful
In 1932 the nation was rolling forward into the Great Depression and the Red Sox were in their own depression finishing the season at 43-111 (.279) and last among the eight American League teams. If there was any possible good news is the 1932 Red Sox were not last in attendance, but seventh with 182,150 wasting away watching managers Shano Collins (11-44) and Marty McManus (32-67) move around players far better suited for the minors.
