Notes

  1. Ted Williams did not play 1943-45 due to military service in World War II.
  2. The Chicago Colts, St. Louis Cardinals, and Colorado Rockies accomplished their feats on the road, meaning they scored in all 9 innings they batted and are the sole instances of a team scoring a run in 9 innings. All remaining teams accomplished this feat at home, meaning they only scored in all 8 innings they batted.
  3. Game 1 of a doubleheader.
