The Chicago White Sox lost their 121st game of the campaign Friday to break the 1962 New York Mets’ infamous record for most losses in a modern-era season (since 1901). Chicago entered the history books by falling 4-1 to the Detroit Tigers at Comerica Park.
Only one team – the 1899 Cleveland Spiders, who went 20-134 – has ever lost more games in one season than this year’s White Sox.
