The 1916 Philadelphia Athletics season was the 16th season of the Philadelphia Athletics baseball franchise. The A's finished eighth in the American League with a record of 36 wins and 117 losses. The 1916 team is often considered by baseball historians as the worst team in American League history,[1] and its .235 winning percentage is still the lowest ever for a modern (post-1900) big-league team. The team's 117 losses would remain an MLB record until the expansion New York Mets broke it in 1962 with 120 losses but with a .250 winning percentage.
