102 years ago the powerhouse 1919 #ChicagoWhiteSox won their second #AmericanLeague pennant in three years and then proceeded to throw the #WorldSeries that year — losing to the #CincinnatiReds. Documented in the great book and movie of the same name, #EightMenOut, the #BlackSox scandal almost completely derailed #baseball. Those eight men are Shoeless Joe Jackson, Eddie Cicotte, Chick Gandil, Swede Risberg, Buck Weaver, Claude "Lefty" Williams, "Happy" Felsch and Fred McMullen. The whole sordid event has ALWAYS fascinated me. ⚾️ 💰 (at National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum) https://www.instagram.com/cerilli/p/CYA1zTKshNP/?utm_medium=tumblr
