Every final score posted during the 1877 Major League Baseball season, tabulated by winning-team runs and losing-team runs.
Baseball games end with a final score, like 8–6. The number across the top is how many runs the winning team scored; the number down the side is how many runs the losing team scored. Where a column and row meet, that square shows how many 1877 games ended with that score — click it to see them.
The 1877 season produced 180 games between 6 clubs, running from April 30, 1877 to October 6, 1877. Those games ended in 81 different final scores, 33 of which occurred exactly once all season. The most common result was 3–2, posted 10 times — 5.6% of the season's games. The season also produced three tie games, which sit on the board's diagonal.
Teams combined for 11.33 runs per game in 1877, 1.88 runs above the all-time average of 9.45. Shutouts accounted for 20 games (11.1% of the total), and 31 of the 177 decided games were settled by a single run (17.5%).
The highest-scoring game of the season came on May 14, 1877, when the LS1 beat the Cincinnati Red Stockings 24–6 — 30 combined runs. It was also the season's widest margin, at 18 runs.
Two final scores appeared for the first time during 1877: 14–9, 18–9. Almost every score was new in these years, because there was so little history for a result to be new against. The board filled itself faster in the 1870s than it could ever be filled again.
This season sits in the early National League era, before the pitching distance was moved back to its modern 60 feet 6 inches. Scoring ran far higher than it would after 1900.
