Every final score posted during the 1926 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 1926 games ended with that score — click it to see them.
The 1926 season produced 1,241 games between 16 clubs, running from April 13, 1926 to October 10, 1926. Those games ended in 120 different final scores, 31 of which occurred exactly once all season. The most common result was 3–2, posted 80 times — 6.4% of the season's games. The season also produced twelve tie games, which sit on the board's diagonal.
Teams combined for 9.26 runs per game in 1926, 0.47 runs above the 1901-onward average of 8.79. Shutouts accounted for 131 games (10.6% of the total), and 380 of the 1,229 decided games were settled by a single run (30.9%).
The highest-scoring game of the season came on July 10, 1926, when the Philadelphia Athletics beat the Chicago White Sox 17–14 — 31 combined runs. The widest margin was 20 runs: the St. Louis Cardinals over the Philadelphia Phillies 23–3 on September 16, 1926.
No final score appeared for the first time in major league history during 1926. 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.
