Every loss, every decision that backfires, bring up the 100th Anniversary in the post game press conference.

09-18-1919 Arnold “Chick” Gandil, first baseman for the Chicago White Sox, meets with Joseph “Sport” Sullivan, a gambler, and tells him that the World Series can be bought.

09-19-1919 Charles “Swede” Risberg, shortstop, Fred McMullin, infielder, and Eddie Cicotte, pitcher, join Gandil in a plot to throw the World Series.

09-20-1919 George “Buck” Weaver, third baseman, Claude “Lefty” Williams, pitcher, Oscar “Happy” Felsch, center fielder, meet with Gandil, Risberg, McMullin and Cicotte to devise a plan. By some accounts, “Shoeless” Joe Jackson, left fielder, was also present.

09-21-1919 Cicotte runs into William “Sleepy Bill” Burns, a retired baseball player turned gambler, who expresses his interest in the fix. Burns asks Billy Maharg, an ex-fighter, to help him get the money together to pay the players.

09-23-1919 Burns and Maharg approach Arnold Rothstein, an infamous gambler of the time, and Abe Attell, his associate, to supply the money to fix the World Series. Rothstein turns them down.

09-24-1919 Attell notifies Burns that Rothstein has changed his mind (a lie) and will put up $100,000 but does not want his name mentioned.

09-26-1919 Sullivan approaches Rothstein separately with the same proposal as Burns and Maharg. Rothstein shows interest because he has more respect for Sullivan. He sends Nat Evans, his associate, to find out if the players can be bought.

09-29-1919 Rothstein sends $40,000 to be given to the players. Sullivan gives Gandil $10,000 and bets the rest on the series. Another $40,000 is placed in a safe at the Hotel Congress in Chicago to be paid out after the series.

10-01-1919 Cincinnati wins the first game of the World Series 9 to 1. That evening Charles Comiskey, Chicago White Sox Owner, and Kid Gleason, Chicago White Sox Manager, discuss rumors that the series may be fixed.

10-02-1919 Cincinnati wins the second game of the World Series 4 to 2.

10-03-1919 Chicago wins the third game of the World Series 3 to 0.

10-04-1919 $20,000 is delivered to Gandil. Cincinnati wins the fourth game of the World Series 2 to 0.

10-06-1919 Cincinnati wins the fifth game of the World Series 5 to 0.

10-07-1919 Chicago wins the sixth game of the World Series 5 to 4.

10-08-1919 Chicago wins the seventh game of the series 4 to 1. According to some reports, that evening Williams, the starting pitcher in game 8, and his wife are threatened with physical harm by a man if Williams makes it past the first inning tomorrow.

10-09-1919 In the first inning of the eighth game, Williams gives up four consecutive hits and
three runs. He is removed from the game. Cincinnati wins the game 10 to 5 and takes the championship. The next day, sports reporter Hugh Fullerton writes that Comiskey had decided that seven players would not return next year.

10-15-1919 Comiskey releases a statement that if anyone knows about the possible fix of the World Series he will pay them $20,000.

12-15-1919 The New York World publishes an explosive article by Hugh Fullerton suggesting that the World Series was fixed.

In some kind of cosmic occurrence, my friend was hanging out with D.B. Sweeney yesterday, who played Shoeless Joe in Eight Men Out.

Was there ever a porn called Ate Women Out or did that industry forget about us as well?
