I also need to add Menigitis (Addie Joss type scenario) and Hit by pitch (Ray Chapman,John Dodge scenario)
Can I overwrite HBP death so that it doesn't happen after 1920? Yet still retain the news story that a player was killed by a pitch? Or should I zero it out in the file?

It's actually kidney failure or clinically Nephritis. It was common in Diabetics probably due to issues with blood chemistry.
I'll give you another one Encephalitis Lethargica. It was epidemic in Europe UK and the US from 1919-1930 but overshadowed by the big flu.
