First sentence: During my lifetime, which is all too rapidly approaching six decades, it seems like I have read five hundred or more various newspaper articles, magazine stories and other journalistic blurbs about the 1919 World Series between the Cincinnati Reds and Chicago White Sox.
Description: "One of baseball's most famous events is the 1919 World Series between the Chicago White Sox and the Cincinnati Reds. Overshadowed by the suspicion cast upon eight White Sox players (who were subsequently indicted) for throwing the games, the 1919 World Series has often been simplistically and inaccurately portrayed in the decades since." "This book presents the series, players, managers, owners, and on-field events objectively - and separates fact from fiction."--Jacket.
