It pains me to write this as a Rangers fan, but Texas is without a doubt baseball's worst franchise since they began in 1972.
Texas has made the playoffs only 3 times in their 37-year history (1996, '98 & '99).
They've never made it past the first round of the playoffs.
The team is 1–9 in individual playoff games.
The Mariners were once thought of (before the mid-'90s) as the worst team, but they went to two AL Championship Series and set the record for most wins in a season in '01.
Even recent expansion teams have done better:
Colorado made the World Series in '07.
Tampa Bay made the World Series in '08.
Arizona won the World Series in '01.
Florida won the World Series in '97 & '03
Can anyone think of a team that is worse (in their overall history) than the Rangers?
