1919 Black Sox World Series Scandal

The Black Sox's team of 1919, is going to be remembered as the most infamous baseball team of the century, if not of all time. They will never be remembered as the great ball club that they were, with a talented player at every position. A few would have surely been enshrined in Cooperstown. However, because of this scandal they were all banished from the game they loved, and the only thing that they knew. The Sox-Reds World Series not only led to the downfall of 8 men, but the mighty White Sox.

The city of Chicago was of whirlwind of joy and excitement when their Sox returned from an East Coast trip. During their trip, the Sox clinched the American League pennant and were headed to the World Series. All Season long, the Sox swept through competition, and nothing less was expected in the Series. To the people of Chicago, the White Sox were a joyous relief from the turbulent times of the past few years. World War I was concluding, and Wilson was lobbying for his League of Nations. Nothing though, came before the Sox though. The Sox were front-page news, and Wilson and the rest of the nation's problems took a back seat to them. However, their joy was going to be short lived.
