About

A scorigami is a final score that has never happened before. Jon Bois invented the concept for the NFL. We made one for baseball. In 155+ years, only 358 unique final scores have ever occurred.

Each cell is a possible final score: winner on one axis, loser on the other. Empty cells have never happened. Tap any cell for the count, the most recent occurrence, and a link to that game's box score. Filter by team, era, or game type.

Every unique score in MLB history: when it first happened, who played it, and how many times it's happened since.

We consider 1871 the start of Major League Baseball. The game has changed a lot since then, and so has the recordkeeping. Early box scores were kept by hand and preserved imperfectly; what exists today is the result of decades of historical research, much of it done by volunteers.

Historical data comes from Retrosheet. Modern results update daily via the MLB Stats API. Coverage includes every recognized major league: NA (1871–75), NL (1876–), AA (1882–91), UA (1884), PL (1890), AL (1901–), and FL (1914–15).

Negro League games are currently excluded. MLB incorporated Negro League statistics into its official record in 2024, but game-level integration is still evolving. We'd rather exclude them cleanly than include them incompletely.

The bot posts after every MLB game, checked in priority order:

• Scorigami: never happened before, ever.
• Playoffigami: never happened in a playoff game.
• Modern Era Scorigami: never happened in the modern era (since 1901).
• Franchisigami: never happened before for at least one of the two teams.
• Rarigami: happened fewer than 100 times ever.
• No scorigami: a common score; the post reports how many times it's happened and the most recent occurrence.
