June 1, 1923 – The New York Giants did something no one had done before in the Twentieth-Century. During their rout of the Philadelphia Phillies, 22-8 at the Baker Bowl in the City of Brotherly Love, New York put on a display of historic offensive firepower. The club skippered by the legendary John McGraw produced scoring in every inning of the contest. Think about that for a moment!
According to a SABR.org article written by Bruce Harris, “A visiting team scoring runs in all nine innings is rare (rate of expected occurrence once every 451,834 games), having been duplicated only two other times. Since June 1923, however, 11 home teams have scored at least one run in their eight innings at-bat.”
