If you're a sports history fan you might find this site fascinating.
It's the history of the major league franchise the St. Louis Browns. They hold the record for lowest attendance in a season 80,922 and once played a game in front of only 33 paying fans.
Quote:
41 losing seasons in 52 years. A whiff of a World Series. Misfits, a midget, and money problems. The Browns are baseball’s losingest and least remembered team. But beneath the tarnish is true baseball gold. Heroes of the greatest generation. Moments of grit, guts and glory. A roller coaster of ruin and redemption. The St. Louis Browns Historical Society and Fan Club is dedicated to preserving every stat and story, so the legend of baseball’s most colorful underdogs can endure forever.
