1- Chicago Colts vs Louisville Colonels 36-7
The Cubs known as the Chicago Colts in the year 1897 absolutely trounced the Louisville Colonels 36-7. Yes, you read that right, the score for that game was 36-7. No team has since then scored more runs in a game and that just goes to show the enormity of the shellacking the Colonels got. Historians say it was a breathtaking exhibition of hitting from the Colts and one that has forever written their names in history books as one of the biggest wins in MLB history.
2- Texas Rangers vs Baltimore Orioles 30-3
The Texas Rangers squared off against the Baltimore Orioles in 2007 and everyone at the ballpark and the millions watching at home were treated to an astonishing game. What makes the 30-3 score even more unbelievable is the fact that the Orioles were ahead 3-0 at one point in the game. The Rangers then pummeled five runs in the fourth innings, nine in the sixth, ten in the eighth and then capped it off by hitting another six in the ninth. The Orioles were shell shocked and they werent the only ones. It was the first time in AL that a team had managed to score thirty runs. Not only that, but the last time a team in MLB scored thirty runs was a hundred and ten years ago. Astonishing stats for a truly astonishing game.
