News Pirates' Greatest Season in Years Their Worst Season Ever

Pirates Greatest Season in Years Their Worst Season Ever - Image 1
The Pittsburgh Pirates are putting the finishing touches on what could be their best season in 20 years and also the worst season in franchise history.

Sixteen games over .500 less than two months ago and playing before sellout crowds, the Pirates have set a new North American professional sports record for losing seasons, demoralizing an entire city. Their 77 wins are the most this century for the team and the Pirates could win more than they have in a single season since 1992, yet they have also secured the biggest collapse in the 143-year history of Major League Baseball.

"This has been the most excitingly humiliating season ever," said outfielder Andrew McCutchen. "I'm so proud of us? I'm not sure if I'm being sarcastic right now. Mainly I just want to cry. Tears of joy. And disappointment."
