CHICAGO — The Chicago White Sox lived a full season through the despair, embarrassment and stigma that comes with being the worst team in the history of baseball.
Now, less than a year later, here comes the Colorado Rockies who are threatening to obliterate the White Sox’s modern record of 121 losses.
The Rockies, even after their first three-game sweep in 13 months over the Miami Marlins, had a 12-51 record entering June 7 – equaling the worst start in baseball dating back to 1901 – and are on pace to go 30-132 in the brutal NL West.
So, good times on Chicago’s South Side where that 2024 season could vanish into the night and be wiped from the record books?
“I hope they don’t break the record," White Sox GM Chris Getz tells USA TODAY Sports. “I don’t wish that upon anyone. I really don’t."
