In 1908, for example, there were 80 1-0 games. I think that's more impressive than the 82 in 1968, since there were 16 teams playing 154 games in 1908, 20 playing 162 in 1968. The Pirates won 10 such games in 1908, the Tigers, 9. The since-1901 record is 94, in 1914. There were only 15 in 1930 - no surprise that that year saw the lowest total.
