Full Summary

16 team league, offered as a Windows roster (no cards).

15 Starters won 20, with Big Bill Foster (Chicago) tops at 25-8, 2.48. Philadelphia’s Nip Winters (23-8) 2.56, AC’s Rats Henderson (21-9) 2.56, and KC’s William Bell (23-9) 2.64 & Bullet Joe Rogan (21-6) 2.78 were best 5 in ERA. AC’s Red Grier (21-10) won the strikeout title. Baltimore’s Jud Wilson won the batting crown at .366 with 3 heavyweight names in close pursuit: St. Louis’ Mule Suttles (.363, 21 T), Detroit’s Turkey Stearnes (.359, 55 D), and Baltimore’s Heavy Johnson (.356). St. Louis’ Cool Papa Bell scored the most Runs (131, 50 D), but was runner-up, by 1, to Harrisburg’s Oscar Charleston’s 34 Steals. Suttles 33 HR was 8 more runner-up Stearnes; his 133 RBI 11 more; his 1.129 OPS .42 more.

The League was trending up and folks wondered how its players would compare to the MLers. The national white sports press even was paying some attention. But the glue to the League’s good fortune, Rube Foster, saw a severe decline in his mental health during the year. Without Foster’s steady grip on the League’s rival owners, 1926 would prove to be the apex for years to come.
