History is upon us in Major League Baseball for all of the wrong reasons. The Chicago White Sox are knocking on the door of becoming the worst team of all time, on paper. Off paper, they may already be there. Tuesday night just added fuel to that dumpster fire.

It’s a tale as old as time. A player gets traded from one team to another. The two teams then match up. The player then gets his revenge on his former team, letting them know the mistake they made by letting them go. Eloy Jimenez was traded from the White Sox to the Baltimore Orioles. But chances are he’s not mad about it.

The White Sox have gone full White Sox
There’s not much more to say. Per Kevin Brown, play-by-play announcer for the Baltimore Orioles, the White Sox are just being themselves. This play could represent all of 2024 — a lazy pop fly that takes three players to miss and allows three runs to score.

The White Sox are now 31-109, 39.5 games out of … fourth place. In 1916, the Philadelphia Athletics posted a record of 36-117, a .235 winning percentage. The most losses (in the modern era) in a season came from the 1962 New York Mets, who went 40-120 in their horrendous year.

It will take some extra work (or extra opposite of work) for the White Sox to eclipse both of these marks in one swoop. However, they continue to prove that anything is possible. We are witnessing history, ladies and gentlemen.
