A bit obscure, but in terms of the most cursed teams ever, and not just for their win/loss record, was the 1920 Jonesboro Roosters.

They've all but been erased from most sports pages and very little is known of this baseball team. But they endured 2 seasons of absolute mayhem before finally ending.

In 1920, 2 days after their first game their general manager was killed by a horse that kicked him in the head during a meet and greet at the baseball field where they played.

14 days after that, their new addition, a pitcher named Seymour was on a train, on his way to the team after being traded by a minor league team from Chicago. As he left the train, drunk, he was nearly passed out and was practically thrown off the train by staff just as the train was pulling away. He got caught between the train and the platform and was killed instantly.

By their 5th game, the bad luck really started piling on. A bees nest was hidden by some planks in the corner of the dugout, and when someone moved them, an onslaught of bees attacked anyone within 50 feet.

Since it was bonnet day, and all the ladies in attendance wore flower-clad bonnets, the bees that didn't attack soon flew aggressively at women wearing bonnets.

6 people who were allergic to bees, died.

Going winless in their first 30 games, the head coach was fired and in retaliation shot at the owner claiming he had never paid. The coach was a bad shot and the shots missed, and instead went through a wall striking the owner's secretary who was sitting at a desk in the next room.

The secretary survived.

Later that season, the train they were riding on derailed and 6 players were killed.

By the end of the season the team won 3 games, and had a total of 14 deaths associated with it.

Back then, players held regular jobs and 4 worked at the nearby Auburn/Cord factory in Auburn, Indiana. During a speed test of one of the new cars, 3 of the 4 players were watching the car race down a narrow road where it lost control and crashed into them, killing them instantly.

During the winter of 1921, a fire swept through the clubhouse destroying the teams equipment and uniforms.

In spring 1921, 4 of the players were arrested for moving moonshine to speak-easys in Chicago. They were sentenced to 5 years in prison, and 2 died that year of turburculosis, including the nephew of the owner.

By summer, the team had it's own bus, and drove to nearby games. In July 2021 the bus suffered a mechanical failure on its front suspension and plunged off a steep embankment injuring 7 and killing 2.

In August, September 1921, they were again winless, and the owner engaged in gambling to keep enough money flowing to sustain the company's bills.

Owing money to loan sharks and Mafia, the teams offices were shot up, killing 7 players and office employees.

The owner, facing bankruptcy fled and was never seen again.

In the end, all assets of the owner, including his house, the partially completed ball field, and any other assets the team had were auctioned off in a tax sale.

Their overall record, 6 and 42 over 1 1/2 seasons.

This team had the highest death toll and ranked as one of the most cursed teams in any sport in history.
