What is the MLB record for most consecutive losses by a team in the modern era (post-1900)?

Philadelphia Phillies?

I'm not sure about consecutive losses, but I know they have the worst overall record in the 20th century, or some relative statistic of epic loserdom.

Did a bit of research, Tubaman, and according to http://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/, the Phillies (and other Philadelphia baseball-team variations) have the compiled the most losses in MLB history.

Which doesn't answer the question originally posed, but still somewhat pertinent to this conversation.

I think we need a hint from Rhoges.

It was the Phillies in 1961. I'm not sure how to give a hint about a number. Its more than 15 though.

But yeah, "guess a random number" questions tended to kill the last thread.

It wasn't really a random number. I figured it was something interesting that people might know. The fact that no one else knew it turned it into a "guess a random number game".

Maybe it did kill the thread. Anybody got a question?
