In a stretch spanning 3 games in May 1999, the Rockies made every inning feel inevitable, scoring again and again until they had crossed home plate in 14 consecutive frames. In started on May 4th when they scored in each of the last 4 innings of wild 13-12 win over the Cubs at Wrigley. The next day they scored in each inning of 15-2 romp, again over the Cubs. The streak finally ended two days later against Phillies ace Curt Schilling, but not before a first inning homer by Colorado’s Larry Walker tied the record.
