Win Some, Lose a Truckload More
Tonight, the Philadelphia Phillies lost the 10,000th game in team history, the first Major League baseball team -- and, in fact, the first professional sports franchise of any kind -- to reach this milestone.
It took them 125 years to do it.
With an 8,810-10,000 overall won-lost record -- the Phillies also have the 10th most wins in history -- Philadelphia would need 32 straight 100-win seasons to pass the .500 mark as a franchise.
Teams closest behind them in the lost column?
The Atlanta Braves have 9,673 losses, while the Chicago Cubs, Cincinnatti Reds, and Pittsburgh Pirates are all over 9,300.
