Also included for this year is a shortened version of the schedules. In the real MLB, the 1918 season was cut short by WWI, ending early on Labor Day, Monday, Sept. 2nd. The shortened version was created by deleting all the games scheduled after the Labor Day holiday, thus mimicking the real world situation. The number of games played by each team is naturally varied as a result, ranging from 124-132 games, with the average value being 127 games.
This gives you the choice of either playing out the 1918 season in its full, originally intended length, or replicating the war-shortened season.
