In 1919, 8 Chicago White Sox players either participated directly in or failed to report a plan to sabotage the best of 8 World Series games against the Cincinnati Reds for profit.. The Reds won 5 games to 4 and the matter seemed to drop- until the following season,when a grand jury was convened to get to the truth. One of the gamblers involved testified,and some of the players admitted they had been in on the plot. One of the best players on the team, Shoeless Joe Jackson, ,who had played perfectly throughout the series, was named in the scandal and paid for it by being from pro baseball for the rest of his life. Many people today felt he has been unfairly wronged. This is his story.
