On this day, July 5th, in legal history, jury selection began for the trial of the Chicago “Black Sox” baseball players accused of throwing the 1919 World Series.The Black Sox scandal, which unfolded during the 1919 World Series, was not an isolated incident in the history of baseball and gambling. The sport had a long-standing and often troubled relationship with gambling, with instances of game-fixing dating as far back as 1865. The integrity of postseason championship play had also been questioned, with rumors surrounding the honesty of games in previous World Series.The exact architects of the Black Sox scandal have never been definitively identified, but it is believed that White Sox first baseman Chick Gandil and Boston bookmaker Joseph "Sport" Sullivan played key roles in devising the plot. Testimonies from grand jury hearings suggested that Gandil and star pitcher Eddie Cicotte were the primary instigators. However, the scandal involved several other individuals, both inside and outside the team, making it a complex web of conspiracies.One popular theory, first presented by the defense lawyers during the trial, suggested that the motivation behind the fix was the miserliness of White Sox owner Charles A. Comiskey. However, this claim has been debunked by salary data that showed the White Sox had one of the highest payrolls in the league, with players like Eddie Collins, Ray Schalk, Buck Weaver, and Cicotte earning competitive salaries.The White Sox team was plagued by internal divisions and factions. One group, led by Eddie Collins, consisted of educated and self-assured players, while the other, headed by Gandil and Cicotte, was made up of more blue-collar players who harbored resentment toward Collins and his clique. This division played a significant role in the scandal.According to Cicotte's testimony, discussions about fixing the World Series began among his faction during a train trip late in the regular season. Cicotte started exploring the possibility of financing the fix with Bill Burns, a former pitcher turned gambler. The allure of the $10,000 payoffs allegedly received by some members of the Chicago Cubs for throwing the 1918 World Series against the Boston Red Sox further fueled the desire for a similar windfall.Reports of player misconduct and corruption were often disregarded by the baseball establishment and the media. The game seemed to have abandoned serious disciplinary measures against gambling-related activities. Even credible charges made by respected figures like Christy Mathewson failed to result in action. Thus, by 1919, the players viewed the World Series fix as a low-risk, high-reward opportunity due to the perceived lack of consequences.In mid-September, the Gandil-Cicotte group solidified their commitment to the fix during a meeting at the Ansonia Hotel in New York. The involvement of the White Sox's second-best pitcher, Lefty Williams, and their star outfielder, Shoeless Joe Jackson, further increased the likelihood of success. They agreed to intentionally lose the World Series to the Cincinnati Reds in exchange for a substantial $100,000 payoff.This tragically would lead to Kevin Costner's 1989 film Field of Dreams being conceived of and, with no one there to stop them, produced and released. The Black Sox ScandalLabor negotiations between United Parcel Service Inc. (UPS) and the International Brotherhood of Teamsters have reached a stalemate, increasing the likelihood of a strike by more than 300,000 UPS workers. Talks between the two parties collapsed after weeks of discussions, leaving the US supply chain vulnerable to disruption if an agreement is not reached soon. The Teamsters blamed UPS for refusing to meet workers' demands, while UPS claimed that the union had halted negotiations despite a generous pay offer. The current labor contract, which is set to expire at the end of July, requires a few more weeks for member education and ratification. UPS shares fell 2.1% in response to the news. The negotiations have been challenging, with disagreements over pay, cost of living increases, and the perceived disparity between worker wages and the company's pandemic-related profits. The possible strike comes amidst a broader wave of labor unrest in the transportation sector, including disputes at ports and rail strikes.Companies with tailor-made picket taglines should handle labor with an especially tender touch – “What can brown do for us? Provide a fair cost of living increase!”UPS Drivers Head Toward Possible Strike as Labor Talks Stall (2)Paul Hastings, a Big Law firm, is facing a lawsuit filed by Redwood Liquidating Co., a biotechnology company based in California, alleging negligence by the firm's lawyers. Redwood Liquidating claims that the mistakes made by Paul Hastings attorneys during the company's attempt to remove its founder, Hesaam Esfandyarpour, from the board resulted in a loss of $300 million in value and ultimately led to bankruptcy. The company had hired Paul Hastings to implement corporate governance reforms and appoint new leadership, including a CEO and three independent directors. However, the Delaware Chancery Court ruled the written consents invalid after Esfandyarpour sued, rendering the new directors invalidly appointed. Redwood Liquidating states that the litigation drained its remaining cash, caused investor concerns, disrupted financing, and forced the company to file for bankruptcy and liquidate its assets. Paul Hastings denies the allegations and considers the lawsuit meritless, expressing its intention to defend itself in court. In addition to this case, the law firm is also facing conflict of interest claims from another client, The Coca-Cola Co., in a separate lawsuit.Paul Hastings Sued by Ex-Client Accusing Lawyers' NegligenceSuspended Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton will not testify in his upcoming impeachment trial in the state Senate, according to his lawyer. Paxton, who was impeached on charges including bribery, is temporarily suspended from office pending the trial. The Texas Senate will try him on 20 articles of impeachment, and if two-thirds of the 31 senators find him guilty, he will be removed from office. The impeachment was triggered by Paxton's office requesting that the House fund a $3.3 million lawsuit settlement he reached with four whistleblowers. Paxton has denied any wrongdoing and is also under a separate corruption investigation by the Justice Department. His attorney stated that they will not comply with what they perceive as an unfair process.Suspended Texas Attorney General Paxton won't testify at impeachment trial | ReutersIn this week's column I take a look at senior property tax relief policies generally, with an eye toward's New Jersey's StayNJ program specifically. New Jersey's property tax relief program, StayNJ, which offers a 50% reduction in property tax for homeowners aged 65 and older, has sparked a debate about the fairness of such policies. While I acknowledge that some seniors struggle with rising property taxes, the concern is that these relief programs come at the expense of other groups facing similar financial challenges.One issue with the proposal is that it creates a complex tax policy puzzle, with funds being reallocated to address school budget shortfalls or to manipulate school performance metrics. This pits seniors against families with children, as zoning restrictions and housing demands favor one group over the other. Seniors, who often have more home equity, are better able to absorb property tax increases.Furthermore, senior property tax relief programs often coincide with cuts in school budgets. Programs like StayNJ are designed to keep seniors in the state, benefiting school resources by reducing the number of students in the public school system. This can positively impact metrics such as school expenditures per pupil, but it also means fewer resources for education overall.In some cases, zoning restrictions are used to provide property tax relief for seniors, effectively excluding families with children from certain areas. The policy trade-off favors seniors, leaving families with fewer resources and options. The shortage of affordable housing exacerbates the situation, as seniors receive incentives to stay in their homes while younger individuals face higher costs.Reverse mortgages are an option for older homeowners to access their home equity without monthly payments, helping them cope with property tax reassessments. However, this option is limited to those aged 62 and older, leaving younger homeowners with fewer alternatives like home equity lines of credit, which require monthly payments.While it is important to support seniors financially, these policies should be examined holistically, considering the impact on other groups. Seniors generally have lower poverty rates compared to younger age groups, and their housing costs decrease over time while healthcare costs rise. While assisting seniors is commendable, policymakers must be mindful of the broader effects on the marketplace.New Jersey Property Tax Relief Pits Babies Against Baby Boomers Get full access to Minimum Competence - Daily Legal News Podcast at www.minimumcomp.com/subscribe

The ClearBuckWeaver.com website has correspondence relating to efforts through the 2010s made by Buck Weaver's descendants to get the third baseman reinstated. Errata: Lefty Williams faced 5 batters, not 6 (Craig was right the first time) in Game 8. He allowed 4 hits (2 singles, 2 doubles) and retired the leadoff batter on an infield fly. To clarify the timeline, the Chicago grand jury referenced in the interview met in September 1920. The American League suspended the eight charged players in March 1921 and the jury acquitted them that August. The new commissioner, Judge Landis, issued the lifetime ban the next day.  -->Join our Discord: https://discord.gg/tT8d3pVUsN -->You can support Hooks & Runs by purchasing books through our store at Bookshop.org.

This week, we take you back to 1919, the year that eight members of the Chicago White Sox were accused of throwing the World Series against the Cincinnati Reds. While it's almost impossible to know exactly what happened considering that the incident was over 100 years ago, we explore the most likely scenarios and discuss how each of these men were portrayed in the film. Guests include D.B. Sweeney and Jacob Pomrenke.

We discuss the 2021 World Series briefly before Josh tells Tom about the 1919 Chicago White Sox... a team notorious for eight of its players taking money from gamblers to throw the world series.  Their story was kept alive by the movie Eight Men Out and star leftfielder Shoeless Joe Jackson was further immortalized in the movie Field of Dreams.  Josh digs more into the story, highlighting more of the roster, the sad story of Buck Weaver who got suspended with the gamblers because he wasn't a snitch, and how the scandal brought about the tenure of legendary baseball villain Kennesaw Mountain Landis.

You've heard of the “Curse of the Bambino”, “Curse of the Billy Goat”, and even “Merkle's Boner." But the case that changed baseball forever was The 1919 World Series Scandal, better known as "The Black Sox Scandal," because itt was discovered that players were betting against their own team! Ray teaches Rob about players like “Shoeless” Joe Jackson, Eddie Cicotte, “Buck” Weaver, and “Chick” Gandil who had enough of their Manager, Charles Comisky, which led them to engaging in the first baseball scandal, the naming of the first commissioner of baseball (named. Judge Kennesaw Mountain Landis....You read that correctly), the theory that famous gambler, Arnold Rothstein, was behind the fix, how baseball redeemed itself........and honestly, what's with all of these nicknames?!?

Buddy takes us all the way back to 2011 for his favorite game of baseball.

Noah begins our series on baseball with the history of Buck Weaver!

Edd Roush was elected to the baseball Hall of Fame in 1962. A star for the Cincinnati Reds of the 19-teens and the 1920s, Roush also played in one of the most famous World Series of all time, the 1919 Series between the White Sox and the Reds. While so many players from Chicago have been written about and are well-known, especially Joe Jackson, Buck Weaver, Kid Gleason and Eddie Cicotte; so few know about the stars of the 1919 Reds, such as Roush. A .323 career hitter, Roush spent 12 years with Cincinnati batting .325 with 199 stolen bases, 260 doubles, 152 triples and he hit 47 homeruns too! Edd’s granddaughter, Susan Dellinger, wrote a terrific book about the 1919 series and included a great deal of background on her grandfather. Susan also dives into the 1919 scandal from the Reds perspective. Titled, “Red Legs and Black Sox,” Dellinger joins the podcast to talk about the career of Edd, his few years in the rival Federal League, the 1919 series – from the standpoint of the Reds, and so much more including: how “shady” characters were hanging around the team, how Hal Chase tried to fix games in 1918 and 1919, and Edd’s hitting lessons from the great Ty Cobb … lessons that turned him from an average hitter into one of the game’s best. In fact, if not for two protests, Roush would have won three-straight batting titles.

 Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie drinks a symbolic tequila toast, analyzes the New Jersey sports betting market from germination to July and ruminates on what comes next, including maybe, perhaps, politics.  And in the second and final installment of our series on the Chicago Black Sox Scandal, Society for American Baseball Research scholar Jacob Pomrenke puts the legacies of Shoeless Joe Jackson and Buck Weaver in perspective. He also draws strong comparisons between the baseball landscape of 1919 and now, and how owners are looking at gambling in much the same way.   TIME STAMPS  2:25 – Maine sports betting bill collapses in a pocket veto.  3:30 – What went wrong in Maine?  4:45 – Sports betting disappointments, encapsulated.    Chris Christie on Legal Sports Betting Crusade  7:00 – Interview with former New Jersey governor and legal sports betting trailblazer Chris Christie.  9:39 – How does Chris Christie think New Jersey has done as a legal sports betting market more than a year after the repeal of PASPA?  11:18 – Will New Jersey maintain its primacy on the East Coast even after New York eventually legalizes sports betting?  13:50 – Pennsylvania continues to be a strong market for New Jersey after legalizing sports betting.  15:01 – What role does Chris Christie have advocating for the legal sports betting industry?  16:52 – Why was New Jersey so ripe for legal sports betting?  18:56 – When did this cause blip your radar and why did it matter to you?  23:45 – Is “integrity fee” a non-starter?  25:11 – How did you learn of the PASPA repeal?  26:32 – How did you celebrate?  27:08 – On Chris Christie’s first sports bet in New Jersey. (It’s not what you’re thinking).  29:00 – Chris Christie was all over Tiger Woods at The Masters.  30:01 – What's next for Chris Christie?  31:01 – Why weren’t there any sports betting references in “Let Me Finish: Trump, the Kushners, Bannon, New Jersey, and the Power of In-Your-Face Politics.”  32:33 – How good of a job did Jason Alexander do portraying Chris Christie in a play?  33:13 – How's the new Bruce Springsteen album?   Jacob Pomrenke on the Black Sox Scandal  38:12 – Part 2 of our Black Sox Scandal deep dive.  39:45 – On Buck Weaver and Shoeless Joe Jackson.  43:18 – The trial.  45:42 – How the Black Sox matter 100 years later.  50:03 – Do modern player salaries immunize sports against Black Sox-type corruption?  51:39 – Will changing views of sports betting mitigate the punishments for Buck Weaver and Shoeless Joe Jackson?  53:30 – The scandal made Shoeless Joe a cultural icon.    #OddBet  59:35 – Astros > Rangers.  1:00 – Reds or White Sox. Who ya like? 

The story of the Black Sox didn't end in 1919, as returning guest Jacob Pomrenke (@buckweaver) reminds us this week, 97 years and 87 years, respectively, after Buck Weaver and Shoeless Joe Jackson applied for reinstatement to Major League Baseball. Mike and Bill find out what happened with those appeals, how the Sox kept trying to get back into the game, and what SABR has in store for the 100th anniversary of the most infamous team in history. Also, we bid farewell to Yankees great Mel Stottlemyre.

Jacob Pomrenke, editor of Scandal on the South Side: The 1919 Chicago White Sox and SABR’s Director of Editorial Content joins Steve to explore the relevance of the Black Sox to our time, appreciate and criticize both the book Eight Men Out and its filmed counterpart, and attempt to fix the roles of both Joe Jackson and Buck Weaver in throwing the World Series. In addition, this week Steve offers tales of an unappreciated player from the 1940s and of the world of the Black Sox as seen from a small room with just one exit located in the Washington DC of 1923.TABLE OF CONTENTSRoy Cullenbine and What Might Seem Like an Inappropriate Comparison to Vincent Van Gogh*“My God, How the Money Rolls In!”*Jacob Pomrenke: Are the Black Sox still relevant?*When all sports were corrupt*Shoeless Joe: Victim or Villain?*The Triples-to-Left Theory of Guilt*Entombed in the Hall of Fame*Illiterate doesn’t mean unintelligent*The most heroic act is failure*The duality of Charles Comiskey*The “Hey, Barney!” Affair*When gamblers were in the stands*Judge Landis’s mandate*Buck Weaver is a man for today*The Lefty Williams Blackmail Myth*John Sayles’ “Eight Men Out”*How the government changed the way baseball players look*SABR in the era of Bowling Alone*Goodbyes.The Infinite Inning is not only about baseball but a state of mind. Steven Goldman, rotating cohosts Jesse Spector, Cliff Corcoran, and David Roth, and occasional guests discuss the game’s present, past, and future with forays outside the foul lines to the culture at large. Expect stats, anecdotes, digressions, explorations of writing and fandom, and more Casey Stengel quotations than you thought possible. Along the way, they’ll try to solve the puzzle that is the Infinite Inning: How do you find the joy in life when you can’t get anybody out?

Case #33: The Black Sox   I'm forever blowing ballgames, pretty ballgames in the air. I come from Chi, I hardly try, just go to bat and fade and die. Fortune's coming my way, that's why I don't care. I'm forever blowing ballgames, and the gamblers treat us fair.   -Ring Lardner     You could say that it started with Charlie Comiskey, because a lot of things started with Charlie Comiskey in Chicago in 1919. Comiskey owned the Chicago White Sox, a serious contender in any year, and he enjoyed the reputation as a tightwad and a fierce negotiator. I want to go on record by saying that although Comiskey fostered the reputation as a hard-guy and a tightwad, the payroll of the Chicago White Sox was one of the best in the league. The team was filled with solid players and had two bona fide stars on its roster; outfielder Joe Jackson and third baseman Buck Weaver. They each made over $6000 a year in 1919 and a lot of the other name players on the team made around half that. And that was about what they would have made on any other roster in the Bigs, so while money was a factor in the Black Sox Scandal, it wasn't the only factor.    

Joe Jackson, Lefty Williams, Happy Felsch, Buck Weaver, Swede Risberg, Chick Gandil, Eddie Cicotte, Fred McMullin. Eight names forever linked in baseball infamy. They, of course, are the members of the Chicago White Sox who received lifetime banishment from baseball for conspiring to throw the 1919 World Series against Cincinnati. While the dark cloud that hovered over the sport would eventually fade away, the discussion hasn’t. Charles Fountain examines the myriad details in his new book, “The Betrayal,” released on October 15.
