Terry Lane Felton (born October 29, 1957) is a former pitcher for the Minnesota Twins. Felton holds two of the most dubious pitching records in Major League Baseball (MLB) history: the most consecutive losses to start a career and most career losses without ever being credited with a victory. He was released by the Twins after the 1982 season in which he went 0–13, the last time an MLB pitcher had zero wins and at least twelve losses.[1] When added to his 0-3 record coming into the season, this gave him a combined lifetime record of 0-16.

Felton was also the Minor League Baseball record holder for the most career wins (33) with the Toledo Mud Hens, until broken by Shane Loux in 2004.

Felton became a Detective and later a Captain in the East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff's Office. He made minor headlines in July 2004, when his two-year-old daughter was attacked by the family rottweiler. Felton shot and killed the dog. His daughter is said to have only suffered minor injuries.[2]
