Most consecutive losing seasons in professional sports history
Philadelphia Phillies 16 (1933-48)
Pittsburgh Pirates 16 (1993-2008)
Notice that this is not just for MLB but all of professional sports. The Pirates at the conclusion of this season will hold what is arguably the worst record in the long history of sports.
Pirates fans ever aware of the shame attached to such a dubious honor, have taken to not just wearing bags on their heads but not showing up at PNC Park at all.
3. Nothing is worse than 16 consecutive losing seasons
sure, the Pirates were once a proud franchise, but those years are long gone. Now they are equivalent to a triple A team...you could put them in the International League or the PCL and there's no guarantee they'd win.
They are tainted with roids. And I am one of the ones that does think that Barry Bonds gets unfairly criticized for it.
But comon. You guys ain't win shit in 55 years. That's fucking sad. Your streak is long than the Toronto Maple Leafs and about to surpass the New York Rangers.
your sports knowledge appears to be limited...the Rangers won the Stanley Cup in '94 breaking their "curse"....or have you forgotten?...Maybe too young to remember? Either way, that kind of mistake renders whatever else you have to say suspect.
Absense of evidence is not evidence. just becuase I didn't say specificly that the Rangers won the cup in 94 doesn't mean I don't know about the 94 cup.
As a matter of fact, me citing their 54 year drought AT 54 YEARS pretty much states that I know they won the cup in 94.
17 consecutive losing seasons coming right up and dead last in attendance. Perhaps it would be better for all concerned if the Pirates were relegated to triple A, they are an embarrassment to MLB.
if you like...you say 55 without a championship, I say 16 consecutive losing seasons....but, right now, today...the Giants are the better team and unlike the Pirates have a future...and you know it.
