Th Cleveland Spiders are what would happen if a bunch of guys on the street formed a MLB team. Their record is safe.


What about the top 25 High School players?

Well, that's not what happened. I'm talking about the 1899 Spiders were essentially guys pulled off the street. The owners bought the St. Louis Browns and shipped all of their players to St. Louis but kept operating a team in Cleveland for kicks. They were, quite literally, a team that was not trying to win. They were grabbing guys from the minor leagues, but back then, the minors were independent and competed for talent, so most players preferred to stay in the minors than play for the Spiders.

Miami has absolutely no chance of breaking the record. None.
