GQ Calls Mets 12th Worst Sports Franchise of All Time

In the October issue of GQ, the magazine presents their 20 Worst Sports Franchises of All Time.  Sadly I had a feeling the Mets would make this list, and they did at number 12.  In part GQ said:

Few teams can boast a tradition of spending fortunes on wrung-dry former All-Stars (Mo Vaughn, Bobby Bonilla) and a legacy of idiotic trades. Meet the Mets!

Other baseball teams on this list include the Phillies at 14, Royals at 7, and Cubs at 3.
