Thanks, NCBB. While I hate to think that Pat's run will come to an end, it will be fun to describe it, like you said.
I accidentally forgot one of the Negro League stars when I was writing up my 1922 update, and considering the fact he remained healthy and in the major leagues until the end of the season, he was the most productive of all!
Shortstop John Henry Lloyd of the Phillies hit a cool .358 in 42 games, with five homers and 35 RBI, scoring 35 runs, reaching base at a .421 clip, and slugging .509. Since "Pop" is 38 years old, he's not a long-term solution for the Phillies, but he might provide them with a few more productive seasons. Ironically, Lloyd's arrival led to the benching of Swede Risberg, whom the Phillies obtained when they traded prospect Archie Graham to the White Sox.
