Overview
The Negro Southern League of 1920 was formed in early March. During the months of April through September the Giants played a variety of NSL and non-NSL teams. For the Knoxville Giants the season started on Wed, April 28, 1920, against the Nashville White Sox, with a three game series in Nashville, which the Giants took, two games to one. The Giants's season ended on Sat, Sept. 11, 1920, in a three game series against the Atlanta Cubs (Black Crackers). The Giants dropped that series, losing two games and winning one.
From my research, the Knoxville Giants played at least 102 games, both NSL and non-league games. They won 72 of these (.713 winning percentage). They played 68 NSL games, with a 45-23 record (.662 winning percentage). The non-NSL games played numbered 33. The Giants had a 27-6 record (.818 winning percentage). These do not include the "Negro League World Series" played against Rube Foster's Chicago American Giants in late September and early October.
The number of games is not fully complete, as some newspaper reports are vague and research is ongoing.
