The following games were suspended and completed at a later date, with some of them resuming in the visiting team's city. The columns "V" and "H" represent the number of runs scored by the visitors and home team at the time of the suspension and the column "Out" is the number of outs recorded before the suspension. Since there are six outs per inning, an entry of 48 outs means eight innings were completed at the time of the halt in play. A league indicator of "IL" means that was an Interleague contest.
The notes column shows a numeric code indicating the reason for the suspension. The codes are explained at the bottom of the list. Some causes were fairly common. Before lights were installed at the Cub's Wrigley Field, darkness caused games to be suspended. Curfews also were a typical cause. For a time the AL did not permit any inning to start after 1 AM, and there were blue laws in Pennsylvania that prevented Sunday games in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh from going beyond 7 PM.
Upheld Protests result in suspended games at the point of the protest. We show those for which we have sufficient details. There is a list of upheld protests on the site.
Click on the date for a link to a boxscore and play by play account when available. However, some of those do not indicate that the game was suspended, which will be added on the next major update of the site.
Please send any missing suspended games to the webmaster at "webmaster --Atsign-- retrosheet.org".
