  Mike Ammann - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mike Ammann (born February 8, 1971 in Orange, California) is an American soccer goalkeeper, now retired.
Ammann's goalkeeping was not to blame, as he played behind a porous defense, but he did set the league record with 18 losses.
With the emergence of Tim Howard in Metro nets, Ammann was traded to DC United for Richie Williams and an allocation before the 2001 MLS season.

Ammann was kept on United’s roster in 2002 with hopes of making a return, but his condition left him unable to make a comeback to the sport.
Ammann moved to the MetroStars in 1999, where he earned the honor of being named the starter for the Eastern Conference in the 2000 MLS All-Star Game at Columbus Crew Stadium and led the MetroStars to the Eastern Conference title that same year with an 11-9-1 record and a 1.61 GAA.
D.C. United acquired Ammann and the 15th overall pick in the 2001 SuperDraft from the rival MetroStars on February 4, 2001 in exchange for Richie Williams and an allocation.
