The Chicago White Sox made history on Friday night by losing their 121st game of the season, setting a new post-1900s, major league record. They fell 4-1 to the Detroit Tigers, surpassing the previous record of 120 losses set by the New York Mets in 1962. The all-time record of 134 losses in a season was set by the Cleveland Spiders in 1899.
Despite a challenging season, the White Sox showed resilience by avoiding the record until the very end. After a tough stretch, including a 20-game losing streak, they managed to finish strong by winning their final three games of the season. Their performance at home was particularly impressive, as they finished 23-58 to avoid matching the record for most home losses in a season.
Although the White Sox had a difficult season, they showed determination and perseverance until the very end. Their fans can look forward to a new season with hope and optimism, as the team looks to bounce back from this challenging year.
