From the Publisher:
Most fans today know that gamblers and ballplayers conspired to fix the 1919 World Series-the Black Sox Scandal. It has been touched upon in classic works of sports history such as Eliot Asinof's EIGHT MEN OUT, referred to in literary classics like W. P. Kinsella's SHOELESS JOE, and has been central to two of the best baseball movies ever made, John Sayles's EIGHT MEN OUTand Phil Robinson's FIELD OF DREAMS.
