The Boston Patriots are another team that has been, for the most part, irrelevant. They did make it to the World Series in 1912, although the Washington Eagles promptly swept them. They have not returned since, making them one of the 8 teams (out of 16) that has yet to win a championship. At least they have been in one, though. There are still four teams that have yet to even make it into a World Series.
Since their pennant-winning season in 1912, the Patriots have not done all that much. They were contenders in 1913 and 1914, falling short both times. Since 1915, they have been a non-contender that has finished under .500 for five years in a row now, not finishing any higher than fourth place. Below is their history since 1901, along with pictures of a few of their top players. There were rumors this offseason that the Patriots were attempting to sell a couple of their regulars (Zach Wheat, for one) to the Knights to help with their dwindling finances, but ultimately no deal was able to be made. Ownership reportedly was disappointed, but maybe it will be for the best in the long run that nothing happened.
