"Cubed Dozen"? — 12 x 12 x 12 = 1,728? I figured Steve must be discussing the number of times Chico Carrasquel reached base in his career.

Alas, no. (-;þ

Balt 2-14-0
Bkln 0-24-1
Bosn 3-22-1
Chic 2-24-0
Cinc 3-27-2
Clev 1-18-1
Loui 0-24-1
NewY 2-12-1
Phil 1-25-1
Pitt 0-19-0
StLo 2-19-0
Wash 2-26-0

More than one sixth (17.5%) of all NL games in 1894 ended with one or both teams scoring more than 11 runs in nine innings or less. All teams were involved in at least 15 such games. Runs per team per game in 1894 was 7.38, easily the highest figure of all time. Pitchers were still getting used to the new 60'6" pitching distance, which had been established in 1893.
