Coached the 1974 Athletics, the worst hitting team to ever win a World Series.

Check out the 1906 White Sox, (Also known as ‘The Hitless Wonders’), for that distinction.

I would say the '88 Dodgers (who beat the A's that year) were weaker hitting, especially since Gibson was only good for one At Bat. They had Mike Marshall and that was about it.
