The 1905 season produced 1,242 games between 16 clubs, running from April 14, 1905 to October 14, 1905. Those games ended in 102 different final scores, 23 of which occurred exactly once all season. The most common result was 2–1, posted 94 times — 7.6% of the season's games. The season also produced 20 tie games, which sit on the board's diagonal.
Teams combined for 7.78 runs per game in 1905, 1.01 runs below the 1901-onward average of 8.79. Shutouts accounted for 234 games (18.8% of the total), and 395 of the 1,222 decided games were settled by a single run (32.3%).
The highest-scoring game of the season came on August 5, 1905, when the Cincinnati Reds beat the Brooklyn Dodgers 19–6 — 25 combined runs. The widest margin was 16 runs: the Chicago Cubs over the Cincinnati Reds 18–2 on June 25, 1905.
No final score appeared for the first time in major league history during 1905. Every score posted this season had already happened at least once in an earlier year.
This season belongs to the dead-ball era, when a single ball was often kept in play until it was too soft to drive. Low scores and shutouts dominate the board.
