Every final score posted during the 1901 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 1901 games ended with that score — click it to see them.
The 1901 season produced 1,110 games between 16 clubs, running from April 18, 1901 to October 6, 1901. Those games ended in 139 different final scores, 44 of which occurred exactly once all season. The most common result was 4–3, posted 57 times — 5.1% of the season's games. The season also produced 18 tie games, which sit on the board's diagonal.
Teams combined for 9.97 runs per game in 1901, 1.18 runs above the 1901-onward average of 8.79. Shutouts accounted for 124 games (11.2% of the total), and 282 of the 1,092 decided games were settled by a single run (25.8%).
The highest-scoring game of the season came on June 9, 1901, when the New York Giants beat the Cincinnati Reds 25–13 — 38 combined runs. The widest margin was 21 runs: the Detroit Tigers over the Cleveland Guardians 21–0 on September 15, 1901.
Two final scores appeared for the first time in major league history during 1901: 23–12, 25–13. Each one is a scorigami — a combination of winning and losing runs that no game had produced before.
The American League declared itself a major league this season, restoring a two-league structure that has held ever since.
