Question
wondering how many times in major league history a team has scored in every inning of a 9 inning game

Answer
Hi Peter,

 It's a pretty rare occurrence. In the National League, this has happened 7 times since 1889 (only 3 times since 1901). Oddly, in the American League, no team has scored in all 9 innings as the visitor, but 5 teams have scored in 8 innings as the home team in games they won.
