Yankee starter Jefferson Nance bounced back from last season's injury with little difficulty, notching 20 wins to help the Bronx Bombers out to a commanding lead in August, with the help of Monty Slocum and the unusually nicknamed Aloysius "Chum Bucket" O'Reilly. However, they had to struggle to hold on as last year's pennant winners, the Philadelphia Athletics, surged in September with a 20-6 record, nearly upsetting them at the end. The Washington Senators, who had the lead for a few weeks in the heat of the summer, faded in the second half of the season, causing critics to question their grit in crunch time. Most likely, however, it was the fading talents of the legendary Jurgen Verherrsch that may have been the cause. He was unable to pull wins out of the air as he had in previous seasons and some are wondering if he actually will return next season to pursue the 400 win milestone.

With the loss of the eight players implicated in the 1919 World Series scandal, the Cincinnati Reds plummeted to the cellar of the National League, challenging the record for losses in a season set by the infamous 1914 St. Louis Cardinals. As a result, Bob Kellermann, Remo Hellstrom, Clyde Harrison and a number of other rookies were pressed into service earlier than would be normal. They are learning the ropes with Friedrich Nietzche's quote "That which does not kill us makes us stronger" as their daily mantra. Rising into the void left by the Reds were four teams who kicked and clawed their way to the bitter end. Eventually, the surprising winners were the New York Giants who shocked the baseball world by trading away the slugging Gene Lassiter to their crosstown rival Dodgers for rookie pitcher Tom Paladin, outfielder Bill Sherman and prospect Elroy Bickford. The womanizing Lassiter will be paired up with another flawed slugger, the notoriously hard drinking Jim Dane, to make one of the most powerful lineups in the history of the game.
