Every final score posted during the 1941 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 1941 games ended with that score — click it to see them.
The 1941 season produced 1,249 games between 16 clubs, running from April 14, 1941 to October 6, 1941. Those games ended in 118 different final scores, 31 of which occurred exactly once all season. The most common result was 3–2, posted 77 times — 6.2% of the season's games. The season also produced 13 tie games, which sit on the board's diagonal.
Teams combined for 8.96 runs per game in 1941, almost exactly the 1901-onward average of 8.79. Shutouts accounted for 164 games (13.1% of the total), and 360 of the 1,236 decided games were settled by a single run (29.1%).
The highest-scoring game of the season came on May 4, 1941, when the Philadelphia Athletics beat the Chicago White Sox 17–11 — 28 combined runs. The widest margin was 16 runs: the Philadelphia Phillies over the New York Giants 18–2 on August 17, 1941.
No final score appeared for the first time in major league history during 1941. 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.
