A brief note on an update we made a few weeks ago. We have added:<\/p>\n

1) Fielding statistics<\/a>, full pitching statistics<\/a>, and batters\u2019 hit by pitch<\/a> for the 1924 Negro National League,<\/a> along with games involving one new independent team, Charlie Mills’s St. Louis Giants<\/a>;<\/p>\n

2) 1921 games<\/a> between Black teams and a very good white semiprofessional team, Jeff Tesreau<\/a>\u2019s New York Bears<\/a>. Playing their home games in Harlem\u2019s Dyckman Oval<\/a>, the Bears featured a number of former or future major leaguers (Tesreau himself, Larry Doyle<\/strong><\/a>, Manuel<\/a> Cueto<\/a><\/strong>, Herb Kelly<\/strong><\/a>, Curtis Fullerton<\/a><\/strong>, Paddy Smith<\/strong><\/a>), minor leaguers (Bobby Crowell<\/strong><\/a>, Tommy Taguer<\/strong><\/a>, Paul Dietz<\/strong><\/a>) and well-known New York-area semipros (the brothers Willie<\/a> & Frank Kelleher<\/a><\/strong>, George \u201cShorty\u201d Page<\/strong><\/a>, Cy Curran<\/strong><\/a>). The Bears, probably the equivalent of a good minor league team, went 20-17-4 against Black teams in 1921.<\/p>\n

Coming up: 1924 ECL fielding & complete pitching stats, 1939 NNL & NAL fielding & complete pitching stats, more games between Negro league teams and white majors & minors, more Mexican League & Cuban League seasons.<\/p>\n
