negro league standings 1920-1924, with additional games

Thought I’d update the Negro National League standings for 1920-1924 I last posted a couple of years ago with a few scores I’ve found since then.  No major changes.  Again the 1923 NNL standings come from Patrick Rock, and the 1924 NNL and ECL are both preliminary versions, based mostly on the Defender, Courier, and Afro-American.

how they stood

You don’t see this every day.  For a while in 1922, the Kokomo (Indiana) Tribune printed Negro National League standings alongside the American and National Leagues and the American Association:

negro league standings 1920-1924, revised

Here is an updated version of Negro National League standings, 1920-1924, plus the Eastern Colored League for 1924.

Compare with the old version, posted here.  The years 1920, 1921, and 1922 are now based on thorough research in newspapers from all league cities, while 1923 is still based on Patrick Rock’s definitive work on that year.

As before, the second column of standings is from Clark and Lester’s Negro Leagues Book, and I think for the most part represent standings as published in contemporary newspapers.
