The name `` Black Sox '' also refers to the Chicago White Sox team from that era. Eight members of the Chicago franchise were banned from baseball for throwing ( intentionally losing ) games. The fix The conspiracy was the brainchild of White Sox first baseman Arnold `` Chick '' Gandil and Joseph `` Sport '' Sullivan, who was a professional gambler of Gandil 's acquaintance. New York gangster Arnold Rothstein supplied the major connections needed. The money was supplied by Abe Attell, former featherweight boxing champion, who accepted the offer even though he did n't have the $80,000 that the White Sox wanted. Gandil enlisted seven of his teammates, motivated by a mixture of greed and a dislike of penurious club owner Charles Comiskey, to implement the fix. Starting pitchers Eddie Cicotte and Claude `` Lefty '' Williams, outfielders `` Shoeless '' Joe Jackson and Oscar `` Happy '' Felsch, and infielder Charles `` Swede '' Risberg were all involved. Buck Weaver was also asked to participate, but refused ; he was later banned with the others for knowing of the fix but not reporting it. Utility infielder Fred McMullin was not initially approached but got word of the fix and threatened to report the others unless he was in on the payoff. Sullivan and his two associates, Sleepy Bill Burns and Billy Maharg, somewhat out of their depth, approached Rothstein to provide the money for the players, who were promised a total of $100,000. Stories of the `` Black Sox '' scandal have usually included Comiskey in its gallery of subsidiary villains, focusing in particular on his intentions regarding a clause in Cicotte 's contract that would have paid Cicotte an additional $10,000 bonus for winning 30 games. According to Eliot Asinof 's account of the events, Eight Men Out, Cicotte was `` rested '' for the season 's final two weeks after reaching his 29th win, presumably to deny him the bonus. In reality, however, Cicotte started the White Sox 's last game of the season, September 28th against the Tigers. But, with a 1 - 0 Chicago lead, Chicago manager Kid Gleason took Cicotte out of the game following the second inning, which assured Cicotte could not get his 30th win.
