Book
The 1919 Black Sox scandal / Dan Helpingstine.
Allegations about a fixed game between the Chicago Cubs and Philadelphia Phillies on August 31, 1920 began a chain of events that led to a grand jury indicting eight White Sox players for conspiring to throw the 1919 World Series to the Cincinnati Reds the year before. Outside the courtroom, Shoeless Joe Jackson, just coming off his best overall offensive season with .382 average, denied any guilt in the World Series fix. Helpingstine examines this scandal that almost took down Major League Baseball. -- adapted from back cover
