The 1911 Cleveland Naps season was a season in American major league baseball. It involved the Cleveland Naps attempting to win the American League pennant and finishing in third place (22 games back). They had a record of 80 wins and 73 losses.

The Naps played their home games at League Park II.

Regular season

Addie Joss

Addie Joss, the ace starting pitcher for the Naps, experienced fainting spells while training for the 1911 season. He died of tubercular meningitis on April 14, at his home in Toledo, Ohio, leaving behind his wife and two young children.[1] Joss's funeral took place on April 17 in Toledo, when the Naps were scheduled to play the Detroit Tigers.[2] The players declared their intention to strike if the game that day was not postponed.[3] Though American League president Ban Johnson initially did not agree, he cancelled the game.[4] Several Tigers players attended the funeral as well.[5]

Charles Sommers, the owner of the Naps, began to plan the Addie Joss Benefit Game,[6] which was held at League Park in Cleveland on July 24, a mutual off day for all teams in the American League.[7] An all-star team played against Cleveland, defeating the Naps by a score of 5–3.[2] In total, nine players from the game were later inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame: Cy Young and Nap Lajoie for Cleveland, Walter Johnson, Ty Cobb, Eddie Collins, Tris Speaker, Sam Crawford, Home Run Baker, and Bobby Wallace for the all-stars.[8] The game raised $12,914 for Joss's widow ($Expression error: Unrecognized punctuation character "[". in current dollar terms);[9] the sum was more than double Joss's annual salary.[8]
