That's the tune the Chicago Cubs are singing this year.  They are last in the majors (not just the National League) in allowing the most walks by their pitchers.  And they are last in the majors (not just the National League) in drawing walks by their batters.

 

How often has a team ended the season last in baseball in both categories?  Eight times.  While generally these teams have not fared well, only once did that team finish in last place!  Now that is a surprise. Here's the complete list:

Year	Team	Standings Finish
1972	Angels	AL West 5th of 6 teams
1960	Indians	AL 4th of 8 teams
1959	Indians	AL 2nd of 8 teams
1954	Orioles	AL 7th of 8 teams
1910	Braves	NL 8th of 8 teams
1901	Indians	AL 7th of 8 teams
1890	Giants	NL 6th of 8 teams
1886	Maroons	NL 6th of 8 teams

 

Thank you to my old actuary friend Andrew Berman for unveiling this ignominious accomplishment by the Chicago Cubs.
