- Summary:
- The exciting story of how one of the most infamous scandals in American history - the Black Sox scandal - continued for over a year following the 'fixed' World Series of 1919 until the truth began to emerge. It is a story of gamblers and crooks; a story of teammates betraying one another; a story of investigations and cover-ups.
