The Chicago White Sox Ruined Baseball After Fixing The 1919 World Series

The Chicago White Sox almost ruined baseball after fixing the 1919 World Series, but Babe Ruth and commissioner Kenesaw Landis saved it. It all went downhill when the 1919 Chicago White Sox decided to throw the World Series. Many people were angry and did not like baseball because of it. After the Series, someone confessed and they eventually got banned for life, two years after they confessed. Then came a rising star from Baltimore who changed the game forever and made people think differently about baseball. Then he got traded to New York Yankees,and his career only went up from there. The White Sox were one of baseball’s best teams, but owner Charles Comiskey paid them like they were the worst. Eddie Collins was the highest paid

Later that year he started playing for the Boston Red Sox as a left-handed pitcher. (2) In school he played pitcher and was very good at it. When he signed with the Orioles, they quickly found out that he was not just a pitcher-he was the best batter on the team. He began to play mostly in the outfield in 1918.That year also marked his first big home-run season, when he hit 11 of
