In other words, you would count all of the hits, walks, hit batsmen, and then tally up all of those who were on base for any reason but failed to score. According to baseball almanac:<br /><br />"The most runners left on base during a nine-inning shutout is sixteen. It has occurred twice in Major League history: May 24, 1994, when Philadelphia shut out St. Louis (4-0), and May 7, 1998, when Toronto shutout Seattle (6-0)."Dr. Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17771229779025430726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-77774225615037625712018-05-20T21:30:40.477-07:002018-05-20T21:30:40.477-07:00In the 1925 game, four of the Boston errors were m...In the 1925 game, four of the Boston errors were made by the pitcher, Buster Ross, a modern MLB record for errors by a pitcher.
