Every final score posted during the 1937 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 1937 games ended with that score — click it to see them.
The 1937 season produced 1,244 games between 16 clubs, running from April 19, 1937 to October 10, 1937. Those games ended in 134 different final scores, 38 of which occurred exactly once all season. The most common result was 4–3, posted 61 times — 4.9% of the season's games. The season also produced 13 tie games, which sit on the board's diagonal.
Teams combined for 9.73 runs per game in 1937, 0.94 runs above the 1901-onward average of 8.79. Shutouts accounted for 140 games (11.3% of the total), and 363 of the 1,231 decided games were settled by a single run (29.5%).
The highest-scoring game of the season came on May 9, 1937, when the Cincinnati Reds beat the Philadelphia Phillies 21–10 — 31 combined runs. The widest margin was 18 runs: the St. Louis Cardinals over the Brooklyn Dodgers 20–2 on July 24, 1937.
No final score appeared for the first time in major league history during 1937. 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.
