In 1930 Chicago, of the National League, set the Major League record by scoring more runs (218) against one club - Philadelphia - than any other team.

The 1894 Boston Beaneaters set the Major League record for the team with the most one-hundred run hitters with seven.

Did you know that on September 4, 1902, Boston played Pittsburgh in a double header and they combined to score the fewest runs by both teams during a double header with one?
