The 2024 Chicago White Sox have officially claimed the title of the worst team in modern MLB history after suffering their 121st loss this season.

This performance raises the question of how they compare to the worst teams in other major sports leagues, including the NFL, NBA, and NHL.

While the White Sox have more wins than the infamous 2008 Detroit Lions and 2017 Cleveland Browns, who both went 0-16, they still face scrutiny for their dismal .244 winning percentage.

In the NBA, the 2011-12 Charlotte Bobcats and the 1972-73 Philadelphia 76ers also struggled, with the Bobcats holding the worst winning percentage in NBA history. The NHL's 1974-75 Washington Capitals, despite their 8-67-5 record, had the added comfort of ties.

Ultimately, fans of each team will have their own reasons for why their team deserves the title of the worst, but the White Sox's historic struggles have even drawn sympathy from former players of the 1962 New York Mets, the previous record-holders.
