What's the worst individual season in sports history for a player?

JakeT. · Jul 10, 2008

Found this on AOL but there has to be a worse one in some sport.

"Bell is now shooting .267 this year, and has managed to play 594 minutes. He is on pace to play over 1600 minutes for the season, and should his shooting not improve dramatically it will be the worst performance in the near-60 year history of the league."

That was after Bell signed a 5-year, $18 million dollar deal.

Who has a better one?

Try A.Jones for the Dodgers this year...and making superstar money...and the Mariners have just CUT Richie Sexson...

Danny Ainge, 1981 Toronto Blue Jays.

Jones:

151 at-bats, .171 average, 2 home runs, 9 RBIs

That is pretty freakin horrible.

At least Sexson has double digit homers to go with his .218 average.

Rick Ankiel....when he was a pitcher...

I don't remember his exact stats, but Maroth had something like 22-25 losses with the Tigers a few years back when they were the definition of crap. I think he was their ace too...

David Duval in 2005:
20 PGA events played; 1 cut made. Total prize money: $7,630.

Greatest golfer in the world in 1999...

He was actually pretty good until the playoff meltdown

When Detroit won the World Series in 68 (AL Kaline, Mickey Lolich, Denny McClain) their starting SS was Ray Oyler. AB 215 H 29 Avg. .135.
No one could do worse than that. In the series they switched their centerfielder Mickey Stanley to SS. Oyler got in a few games as a defensive replacement.

Chuck Knoblauch for the 02 Royals. Just awful

I think we might be seeing it this year with Barry Zito.
He is 4-12 now and projected to go 7-21 with a 5.62 ERA.

Couple that with a $126 million price tag...ouch.

Ask Steinbrenner about Carl Pavano. At least Zito sucks up some innings

A goal without a plan is just a wish.
