WIKIPEDIA'S NEW STANDARD FONT SIZE HAS THROWN A WONDERFUL WRENCH IN THE CURRENET FORMAT OF THIS PAGE. WILL EVENTUALLY BE UPDATED. The 1923 major league baseball season began on April 17, 1923. The regular season ended on October 7, with the New York Giants and New York Yankees as the regular season champions of the National League and American League, respectively. The postseason began with Game 1 of the 20th World Series on October 10 and ended with Game 6 on October 15. In the third consecutive iteration of the Subway Series, the Yankees defeated the Giants, four games to two.

The Negro National League and Eastern Colored League seasons would be contested from April to September (exact dates are unknown due to poor record keeping) with the Kansas City Monarchs and Hilldale Club as pennant winners, respectively.

This was the second of eight seasons that "League Awards", a precursor to the Major League Baseball Most Valuable Player Award (introduced in 1931), were issued. Only an American League award was given in 1923.

Major League Baseball officially designated the Negro National League and Eastern Colored League as major leagues on December 16, 2020.^[1]

PLEASE NOTE: INFOBOX INCLUDES 1924 COLORED WORLD SERIES FOR THE SAKE OF FORMATTING. THE ACTUAL 1923 PAGE WOULD NOT HAVE THIS.

Schedule

The 1923 schedule consisted of 154 games for all teams in the American League and National League, each of which had eight teams. Each team was scheduled to play 22 games against the other seven teams of their respective league. This continued the format put in place since the 1904 season (except for 1919) and would be used until 1961 in the American League and 1962 in the National League.

National League Opening Day took place on April 17 with all teams playing, while American League Opening Day took place the following day with all teams playing. The final day of the regular season was on October 7. The World Series took place between October 10 and October 15.

Due to poor record keeping, the exact dates played for the Negro National League and Eastern Colored League are unknown. Both leagues would see an inconsistent number of games played for each team. The Negro National League teams (that did not fold mid-season) saw between 53 and 86 non-exhibition in-league games played, while the Eastern Colored League saw between 33 and 59 non-exhibition in-league games played. Both leagues saw teams play a number of games against major-league tiered independent teams, increasing their game totals to 62 and 98 for Negro National League teams, and 40 and 61 for Eastern Colored League teams.
