Question
Hi,
my question:  How many runs scored in a single inning by one team - before recording an out?  Yankees scored 8 runs on Sept 29 before any outs
Thanks

Answer
Howdy- The all-time record dates from way back in 1883 when Chicago scored 13 runs against Detroit before an out was registered.  On 24 May, 1953, the Dodgers scored 12 runs against the Phillies before an out was made.  The A.L. record is 11, by the Tigers against the Yankees, 6th inning, 17 June, 1925.
