1935 Boston Braves
From BR Bullpen
(Redirected from 1935 Braves)

Record: 38-115, Finished 8th in National League (1935 NL)

[edit] History, Comments, Contributions
The 1935 Boston Braves had the lowest winning percentage of any National League team in the 20th century, "topping" even the 1962 Mets. The presence of over-the-hill future Hall of Famers Babe Ruth and Rabbit Maranville, both in their final seasons, was no help. They also lost the most road games (at 13-65) of any MLB team from 1900-2010; the 2010 Pirates almost broke the record at 17-64, playing a longer schedule.
