The Chicago White Sox faced a historic failure this season, setting the modern-day record for losses. With 17,000 fans and 375 dogs attending the final Dog Day promotion, the disappointment grew as the team fell to 1-94 when trailing after seven innings, igniting a mix of cheers and boos from the crowd.

Despite a rare late-game victory over the Los Angeles Angels, the White Sox remained one game away from surpassing the 1962 New York Mets as the worst team in modern baseball history. General Manager Chris Getz acknowledged the colliding issues contributing to this disastrous season, including injuries, a struggling manager, and a mismanaged clubhouse.

Players and management alike had to deal with the reality of the season's shortcomings, with speculation over the future of the team and its leadership intensifying as losses mounted.
