1918 Negro League Baseball Windows Season
- War, Flu and Human Foes Can’t Deter Dominant Chicago
- Oscar Charleston, Smokey Joe Williams, Other Stars at Their Peaks
- 10 Hall of Famers, 15 others from SOM’s Negro Stars Set
World War I and the Spanish Flu pandemic cost many lives this summer, including ballplayers from every Negro League steam, but six teams with a star-studded group that includes 10 Hall of Famers and 15 others from Strat-O-Matic’s Negro Stars set completed a season that Strat-O-Matic has adjusted to a 130-game schedule with the corresponding stats below.
The Chicago American Giants (80-50) were the class of the group, led by 22-game winner Dick Whitworth, .316 hitter Leroy Grant and the league’s top run scorer, Pete Hill.
The great Oscar Charleston (.342) and 20-game winners Jim Jeffries and String Bean Williams led Indianapolis’ 71-win season. New York had the batting champ in Zack Pettus (.347) and the league’s best pitcher, Smokey Joe Williams (21-9, 1.75 and the strikeout king). Brooklyn boasted Pop Lloyd (.313), top base stealer Johnny Pugh (51) and pitchers Dick Redding (1.73 ERA and John Donaldson (1.78 ERA). Other superstars included Havana’s Cristobal Torriente (.332) and Atlantic City’s Louis Santop (.332) and Dick Lundy (.300).
