The time the 1936 Yankees scored 25 runs in one game

The 1936 Yankees had a potent offense. On May 24, they showed exactly how potent.

Baseball blowouts are a weird thing. In basketball and football, if things get out of hand, teams often do things to make the game end quicker. In baseball, if games turn into blowouts, the solution is simply "put in another pitcher" and in blowouts, that can sometimes mean the last guy in the bullpen, or even a position player. The weirdness of baseball blowouts makes them arguably more watchable than blowouts in other sports.

The Yankees played the Philadelphia Athletics on May 24, 1936 in Philly.
