Abstract

Considering the belief that "[except] for motherhood and the flag, no institution stood more for what was good and true about America than baseball," America was shocked to learn that her prized pastime was just as corruptible as anything else (Miller 200). The 1919 Baseball world series was unlike any other event that had ever occurred. When the Chicago White Sox unexpectedly lost to the Cincinnati Reds, many rumors began to circulate and suspicions arose. Over the course of the next few years, inquiries were made, players were tried, and the crookedness of the games was revealed. Although the outcome of a world series that was played over eighty years ago might seem inconsequential to baseball today, Chicago's scandalous loss drastically affected the baseball world. When eight players from the Chicago White Sox team agreed to throw the world series in 1919, baseball was changed forever.
