Has an MLB team ever lost every game over a whole season?
No, no Major League Baseball (MLB) team has ever lost every game over a whole season. The worst record for a team in a full MLB season is held by the 1962 New York Mets, who finished with a record of 40-120. However, even the Mets managed to win some games that season.
There have been several cases where an MLB team has lost 100 or more games in a season. The 1916 Philadelphia Athletics finished with a record of 36-117, and the 1962 New York Mets finished with a record of 40-120. These are the only two MLB teams to lose 100 or more games in a full season.
The closest that any team has ever come to losing every game over a whole season was the 1899 Cleveland Spiders, who finished with a record of 20-134. The Spiders lost their first 13 games of the season and never managed to recover, finishing with a winning percentage of just .130.
Losing every game over a whole season would be an incredibly difficult feat, and it is likely that no MLB team will ever be able to accomplish it within the confines of a 162-game schedule.
