Anyone know the record for total number of runs scored in baseball season is, league wide? I think that record will be shattered this year. Pitching is really down.

    But only to heal more quickly, not to gain a competitive advantage.

    BTW, how can you be confident the record will be broken if you do not even know what it is? I'll go out on a limb and predict that it will not be broken this year.

    Goggle is my friend:

    The record for most runs scored by a major-league team during a single season is 1,212, set by the Boston Beaneaters (now the Atlanta Braves) in 1894. The modern-day record is 1,067, achieved by the New York Yankees in 1931.

    OP asked "league-wide" so my guess is that the record for all of baseball happened some time after MLB expanded to 30 teams

    What happens when the #5 in the rotation pitches? 16 runs scored in last nights game, 20+ runs scored in 2 games today.

    Correction, only 17 runs scored in the St. Louis game. A real pitching duel.

    Since 1900, the highest runs scored per game average was in 11.1 in 1930. It was 9.22 in 2009.
