List of New York Cubans seasons

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This list of New York Cubans seasons compiles games played by the New York Cubans. Seasons in which the Cubans were league members (or an associate team), only games that counted in official league standings are included. Seasons in which they had no league membership and played an independent/barnstorming schedule include games against primarily major-league-caliber teams.

Contemporary coverage of games and won-loss standings was spotty and inconsistent. On-going research continuously discovers unreported or misreported games, while some games are probably lost forever. Therefore, Negro league seasonal finishes will likely remain incomplete and subjective.

Key
  1. ^ Placement in annual standings were generally decided by win percentage; "games behind" were never used.
  2. ^ Finish in years when only a full season was indicates actual place in standings. Finish in years a split season was played indicates combined place in standings for both halves of the season.
  3. ^ Years with a "—" did not play a split season. "1st" or 2nd" indicate which half of the season was won. "DNQ" indicates team did not win either half and did not qualify for postseason.
