Ok, I had to run a report. It turns out that Mendoza is almost the worst ever. I ran a report for the modern era (1919 was the end of the dead ball era, so 1920 to current day). Mendoza has the second worst career OPS of non pitchers who have had 1,000 or more at bats. The winner? Luis Gomez, he of the career .500 OPS. His OBP of .261 is better than the other guys. Gomez walked 86 times in his career. But his slugging percentage was downright embarrassing. In 1,251 at bats, Gomez hit 26 doubles, 5 triples and no home runs. His career slugging percentage? .239. I didn't know a percentage could get that low.
Here is the wall of shame:
