Does anyone have the boxscore to the game on June 29,1897 in which Chicago scored 36 runs vs Louisville which is still the single game record for one team.Thanks,John |

That's because walks and some other things were counted as "at bats" back then. Not sure what year the stat keeping rule changed when walks no longer counted as "at bats" - probably soon after 1897 since you say that was the last year of the record. |

Looked up one of my favorite all time games. Phils 23 -Cubs 22 in 1979 at Wrigley. Two Phils had 8 at bats but the game did go 10 innings. |

I think that changed in the late 80s. |

Walks were counted as Hits and ABs only in 1887. That's the year Tip O'Neill hit about a zillion. |

I was reading that record as coming to the plate 8 times in 9 innings. That seems like a reasonable record. Seems like others are reading it as 8 official at-bats. So does that imply that there have been players that have come to the plate more than 8 times in a 9 inning game but just walked or HBP one or more times? |

a number of batters will have come to the plate quite a few times! |

McCormick did step to the plate eight times, and all were official at-bats. He put the ball in play all eight times, going six for eight. He had four singles, one triple and a homer. He stole second three of the four times he singled. He scored five runs and drove in at least six. The final score was 36 to 7. The most incredible stat? Time of Game = 2:17. |
