Does anyone know what the major league record is for biggest comeback in the final inning? The biggest I know is this:

I think it was either by Detroit or against Detroit, fairly early in the 20th century, but I don't know how I'd find it :ughh

I think the Cleveland Blues scored eight runs after there were two outs in the bottom of the ninth to beat Detroit, somtime in 1901.

There are some sources that say Cleveland scored 9 runs in the 9th against Washington on May 23, 1901 to win 14 to 13. http://www.baseball-statistics.com/Greats/Century/9-in-the-9th.htm
But www.retrosheet.org shows a different story with their box score.
May 23, 1901
WAS A 0 5 0 1 3 0 2 0 2 - 13
CLE A 0 6 0 0 4 0 0 1 3 - 14http://www.retrosheet.org/boxesetc/1901/05231901.htm

The Giants did this to the Pirates in 1973 and unlike the Phillies who scored most of their runs vs the Dodgers with 0 or 1 out, all 7 Giants runs were scored with 2 outs
For some reason, I remember it as a Monday Night Baseball broadcast, which doesnt make sense to me
I also have a memory of a bunch of my friends going to the game with somebody's father (like 5 or 6 kids er well teenagers)

amazing it made the Giants 19-6
more amazing a 7 run inning on a grand slam then a bases loaded double drove in all 7 runs
