1916 Philadelphia Athletics season

The 1916 Philadelphia Athletics season was the 16th season of the Philadelphia Athletics baseball franchise. The team concluded the season in eighth place within the American League, achieving a record of 36 wins against 117 losses. Baseball historians frequently regard the 1916 Athletics as the poorest-performing team in the history of the American League, with a winning percentage of .235, which remains the lowest for any modern major league team since 1900. The 117 losses recorded by the team stood as a Major League Baseball record until the expansion New York Mets surpassed it in 1962, finishing with 120 losses but a slightly better winning percentage of .250.
