Since 1900 the Philadelphia Phillies are 7677-8948 which is a .462 winning percentage. They have a total of 5 pennants and 1 World Series win.
I am eliminating any expansion team as they do not have enough history to be considered the worst franchise in the history of MLB.
Philadelphia Phillies. Final answer.

Worst can be defined in a number of ways. Possibly the most consistently horrible team in baseball history was the St. Louis Browns. While other teams have broken their record for losses (the Mets and the Royals) they were aided by weaker expansion rosters and a longer season.
My grandfather was a sports reporter, and was quite firm about the Browns. The only things they are famous for is when owner Bill Veeck sent in a midget named Eddie Gaedel in to pinch hit (he walked) and winning the World Series in 1944 because all their starters were 4F, and the other teams lost theirs for the war.
They have done better since the move to Baltimore, but as the Browns they set a standard for bad play that we may never see again, unless you count T ball.

On the sheer matter of technicality... I have to say the Wasington Senators.
They exisisted TWICE and moved away BOTH times (To become the Minnesota Twins and then again to become the Texas Rangers.
Hell, D.C. got a team ONE more time and rather than continue the tradition and make them the Senators for a THIRD time... they decided to buck the trend and go with the Nationals.
Let's see if they can keep THIS franchise!

the guy who says the Phils is incorrect. a minimum of they have won international sequence' earlier. The Washington Sentators/Rangers have completed no longer something. i think of they finally made the playoffs 3 years in a row interior the previous due 90s and lost all 3 sequence. they have been around by using fact 'sixty one so because it particularly is an prolonged time to suck. The Cubs, Phils or perhaps the previous Senators/Twins have won sequence of their lifetimes. The Sentators/Rangers have not.

The Cubs because they had the money, the fans , the city , the players and a great ball park to play in and they did nothing with it. I'll bet you if you put the bottom feeding Devil Rays in that situation for 10-15 years they'd at the very least a division championship to show for it,

St. Louis Browns

The Philadelphia Phillies are quickly approaching 10,000 losses, the most for any professional team in any sport. I would say that makes them a good candidate for the worst team.

I would have to go with david l and say the St. Louis Browns. However, they did not win the 1944 World Series, they lost to the Cardinals.
