As the sun sets on what has been a disastrous season, the Chicago White Sox have made history.
With their 4-1 loss to the Detroit Tigers, the White Sox picked up their 121st loss this season, breaking the modern MLB record for the most losses in a season previously held by the 1962 New York Mets, who lost 120 games.
Chicago won its last three games against the Los Angeles Angels as it seemed the White Sox might avoid breaking the record, but the Tigers, motivated by a late-season push to make the playoffs, were too much for them on Friday.
