Actually, there weren't too many MLB players who succumbed to the 1918 version of 2020. It's quite surprising that more didn't perish. I was just thinking about it this afternoon. There were a few active players who were lost back then, whereas we can hope that the total of active Major Leaugers lost in this pandemic will stand at zero.
Edited to add a (likely partial) list of players either lost to the Spanish Flu or who died from influenza within a short time of that pandemic: Frank Arellanes Ray Boyd Harry Chapman Larry Chappell Gene Curtis Walt Dickson John Frill Fred Gaiser Harry Glenn Jack Lapp George Leclair Matty McIntyre Phil Routcliffe There are a couple of players on here who died post-1918-1919, yet family records I've gathered still attribute their deaths to the 1918 pandemic.
