re: Besides 0-0 what do you think is the most common MLB score?

Posted by blueridgeTiger on 5/12/26 at 10:15 am to OysterPoBoy

The OP is not completely out in left field about 0-0 MLB scores, I asked the friendly elves at Grok to research this issue, and this is theie reply:

Yes, there are records of MLB games ending in a 0-0 tie—66 such games since 1901.

These were far more common in the early decades of modern baseball (1901–1920 accounted for the large majority), often due to games being called for darkness before stadium lights became widespread, or occasionally for rain. Many went into extra innings as pitchers’ duels; more than 30 were extra-inning scoreless ties.

They became rare after the 1950s as rules and scheduling evolved (suspended games are now usually resumed rather than declared ties), with none in the last several decades under current practices.Examples include:The longest: Brooklyn Dodgers vs. Cincinnati Reds, 19 innings on September 11, 1946, at Ebbets Field (called due to darkness).

An 18-inning one: Detroit Tigers vs. Washington Senators on July 16, 1909 (also darkness).

Another notable: New York Mets vs. Philadelphia Phillies, 18 innings on October 2, 1965 (second game of a doubleheader

Yes, I'm pre-diabetic. I was on it for two weeks. During that time, it gave me the shits from Hell. My doctor prescribed another drug, solving the problem.

This seems like déjà vu all over again. During the Vietnam War LBJ, would bomb targets in the north, then back off to see if they wanted peace. H? Chí Minh had more patience than Johnson.
