The Chicago White Sox Make History with 121 Losses
It was a historic night for the Chicago White Sox as they surpassed the 120-loss record set by the New York Mets in 1962, losing their post-1900s, major league-record 121st game to the Detroit Tigers.
The White Sox broke the previous record by the Mets in their inaugural season. The overall record was set in 1899 by the Cleveland Spiders with a 20-134 record.
Many teams have come close to the Mets’ record, including the 2003 Tigers, who finished with 119 losses. However, the White Sox sealed their fate with 120 losses before the final game against the Tigers.
Despite the disappointing season, the White Sox showed grit, especially in their final stretch of games. They managed to avoid an even worse record by winning key games at the end of the season.
With stellar performances by some players, including Zach DeLoach’s first homer and Garrett Crochet’s strong pitching, the White Sox tried their best to salvage the season.
Although the White Sox struggled with runs scored and allowed, their unwavering determination was evident in their late-season wins.
In the end, the White Sox finished with 121 losses, making history in the major leagues but also showing resilience and fighting spirit throughout the challenging season.
