1919 Black Sox Scandal Paper
This paper was also submitted at Rasmussen and scored a whopping 36% after I completed my Disability paperwork.
Let me know if you learned anything? The dean is a grad from Northeastern Univ. where "Great Books" Vice Pres is an educator.
I learned something doing this paper and love sports, but am now partially disabled and paying for it with my grades, even though I am still doing the work.

1919 Black Sox Scandal  The 1919 Black Sox Scandal refers to the Chicago White Sox baseball team “ throwing” the 1919 World Series to the Cincinatti Reds. According to Wikipedia, the entire conflict was started by 1st Baseman Arnold “Chick” Gandil in retaliation for some of the teams’ players hatred for the owner, “ Charles Comiskey. Eight of the members that took the field during the 1919 World Series were forever banned from playing the sport of baseball. Gandil is believed to have started the incident with his underworld ties. Other players that were initially involved were: Eddie Collins (2nd Base), Roy Schalk (catcher), and Red Faber (pitcher). Eventually, other players became involved such as: starting pitchers Eddie Cicotte and Claude “Lefty” Williams, Oscar “Happy” Fields (outfielder) and Charles “Swede” Risberg (shortstop). Three of the players signed confessions which were later stolen from the Illinois State’s Attorney’s Office before the 1921 trial. Two players who refused to participate were: Buck Weaver (third base) and Fred McMullin (utility infielder). Weaver was eventually banned for his knowledge of the situation without reporting it to the committee. McMullin threatened to expose the other players if he didn’t play in the Series, but spent most of his time on the bench. Some of the teams hatred for Comiskey stemmed from his underhanded tactics
