In baseball, a shutout refers to a game in which one team wins without allowing the opposing team to score any runs. If the starting pitcher can pitch the entire game without giving up a run he earns a complete game shutout.
The term can also be used, however, to describe periods of time longer or shorter than one game. For instance, the efforts of a relief pitcher could be described as "three shutout innings" or a pitcher may have pitched a shutout over the "past 22 innings" (slightly over two full games.) See also: no-hitter.
In ice hockey, a shutout is given to a team whose goalie successfully keeps the other team from scoring. The current record holder for most career shutouts is Terry Sawchuk with 103.
In teamsports, a shutout (a clean sheet in soccer) refers to a game in which one team wins without allowing the opposing team to score.
The currect record holder for most career shutouts is Walter Johnson with 110; the current active leader is Roger Clemens with 48 (tied with Kid Nichols for 25th all-time).
In ice hockey, a shutout is given to a team whose goaltender successfully prevents the other team from scoring and plays the entire game.
While always theoretically possible, in some sports, such as basketball, they are practically impossible.They are seen as a result of effective defensive play even though a weak opposing offense may be as much to blame.
