Every final score posted during the 1921 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 1921 games ended with that score — click it to see them.
The 1921 season produced 1,237 games between 16 clubs, running from April 13, 1921 to October 13, 1921. Those games ended in 121 different final scores, 28 of which occurred exactly once all season. The most common result was 4–3, posted 63 times — 5.1% of the season's games. The season also produced three tie games, which sit on the board's diagonal.
Teams combined for 9.69 runs per game in 1921, 0.90 runs above the 1901-onward average of 8.79. Shutouts accounted for 130 games (10.5% of the total), and 367 of the 1,234 decided games were settled by a single run (29.7%).
The highest-scoring game of the season came on September 9, 1921, when the Chicago White Sox beat the Detroit Tigers 20–15 — 35 combined runs. The widest margin was 17 runs: the Chicago White Sox over the Philadelphia Athletics 18–1 on September 24, 1921.
No final score appeared for the first time in major league history during 1921. Every score posted this season had already happened at least once in an earlier year.
This season belongs to the live-ball era that followed the 1920 rule changes, when scoring rose sharply and stayed high.
