The New Record (Rangers' 30 Runs) and the Old (Boston and Chicago, 29 Runs)

No doubt you've heard by now that the Rangers set a modern major league record last night by scoring 30 runs in a game, defeating the Orioles, 30-3. Here's the box score, in the style most contemporary fans will view it.

Texas broke the old major league record, which was shared by two teams. On June 8, 1950, the Red Sox beat the St. Louis Browns, 29-4. Below is what most fans saw in the next day's paper.

About five years later, the White Sox drubbed the A's, 29-6. The original, newspaper-style box is below.

Yeah, I know that you can find the old box scores over at Retrosheet, which is terrific, but sometimes it's cool to see the originals. At least I think so.
