Notes

[edit]
  1. Ted Williams did not play 1943–45 due to military service in World War II.
  2. The Chicago Colts, New York Giants, 1964 St. Louis Cardinals and 1999 Colorado Rockies accomplished their feats on the road, meaning they scored in all 9 innings they batted and are the sole instances of a team scoring a run in 9 innings. All remaining teams accomplished this feat at home, meaning they only scored in all 8 innings they batted.
  3. Game 1 of a doubleheader.
