The Phillies don't play tonight, but this weekend will likely be their 10,000 franchise loss. The city is buzzing.
So what are the marks of futility in other major sports? Keep in mind that no league plays as many games in a season as baseball.
In the NBA, the Golden State Warriors have 2562 losses. The Sacramento Kings are next with 2427
In the NFL, the Arizona Cardinals have 658 losses. The Lions are next with 544.
In the NHL (according to wikipedia), the Maple Leafs and Blackhawks BOTH have exactly 2391 losses, the most in history!!! This is remarkable. However, due to recent rules, we now also have overtime losses, and Chicago takes that tiebreaker 44 - 37.
So congrats to Philadelphia, Chicago, Phoenix, and Oakland. Your teams lose a lot.

Not surprisingly, the Maple Leafs and Blackhawks are among the currently active hockey teams that have been around the longest. The baseball teams with the second and third most losses are the Braves and the Cubs.
And the Warriors? They once played in Philadelphia. Make of that what you will.
