Grand Island 1922

Grand Island managed an even record for the 1922 season. This did not win them either half of the championship and left them out in the cold come playoff time.

They were last in winning percentage for the year and last in team fielding.

The team core consisted of Roben in the outfield and Metz at shortstop. They also had Kranda and Speaker for just under 100 games each. Foulk was their best pitcher with 200 strike outs but his wild nature led to just a 9-23 record.
