The Black Sox Trial - 1921


Douglas Linder - "It was almost unthinkable: players throwing the World Series? Yet, that's what happened--or maybe didn't happen--in the fall of 1919. The players on the Charles Comiskey's 1919 Chicago White Sox team were a fractious lot. The club was divided into two 'gangs' of players, each with practically nothing to say to the other. Together they formed the best team in baseball--perhaps one of the best teams that ever played the game, yet they--like all ball players of the time--were paid a fraction of what they were worth."
