The web of baseball history connects the 2025 Rockies to the 1899 Cleveland Spiders. That’s not a good thing.
The 1899 Spiders finished 20-134 for a .130 winning percentage. The Rockies entered the weekend with a 9-47 record, on pace to finish 26-136. If the Rockies were to continue at their current wretched pace, they would lose more games than the Spiders, but the Rockies’ winning percentage would not be as bad.
Still, to be mentioned alongside the Spiders, the 1962 Mets (40-120-1), the 2024 White Sox (41-121) and a slew of other losing teams is, frankly, embarrassing.
