In the literal history of modern MLB since the founding of the American League in 1901, there are three teams to have a worse start to a season, and none has done so in 108 years. We are talking about thousands of individual team seasons to have a grand total of three total worse than this one. The 1962 Mets who own the ML record with 120 losses in one season were on a pace 3 games better than this at the same mark in the 1962 season.
