I believe the real record was 48 losses by John Coleman for the inaugral season (1883) of the Philadelphia franchise that would become known as the Phillies. ( though I think he won 12 games also that year)

Poor John was turned into an OFer after that year though.


Though I will say sub-.200 for regular werent really that unheard of back then. Even well below .200.
