Every final score posted during the 1969 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 1969 games ended with that score — click it to see them.
The 1969 season produced 1,957 games between 24 clubs, running from April 7, 1969 to October 16, 1969. Those games ended in 99 different final scores, 15 of which occurred exactly once all season. The most common result was 3–2, posted 131 times — 6.7% of the season's games. The season also produced three tie games, which sit on the board's diagonal.
Teams combined for 8.14 runs per game in 1969, 0.65 runs below the 1901-onward average of 8.79. Shutouts accounted for 302 games (15.4% of the total), and 646 of the 1,954 decided games were settled by a single run (33.1%).

No final score appeared for the first time in major league history during 1969. Every score posted this season had already happened at least once in an earlier year.
The mound was lowered from fifteen inches to ten and the strike zone was narrowed, both direct responses to the previous season's collapse in scoring. Four new clubs joined and each league split into two divisions.
