July 5, 1921: Chicago White Sox accused of throwing World Series

On this day in 1921, the Chicago White Sox were accused of throwing World Series.

Back in 1989, we watched "Eight men out".    It is a great movie about a bunch of players who got caught up in something very bad.    Nevertheless, I walked away from the movie feeling very sad, specially for Shoeless Joe.

The book and the movie work well together.   Read the book first and catch the movie later.
