During the world series, the Chicago White Sox were heavy favorites to beat the Cincinnati Reds because of the dominating season that they had.

The first baseman of the White Sox named Gandil and gambler Sullivan went and met and talked about different ways to throw the game.  Players such as Buck Weaver and Claude Williams were part of the conversation as well.  However, Buck denies any talks with the gamblers after he was almost caught by Oscar Felsch. ]]> 2018-04-06 13:14:58 UTC https://padlet.com/jbolash/rci9okgnsw2n/wish/249207847 19woodruffj https://padlet.com/jbolash/rci9okgnsw2n/wish/249213596 -The players were given $20,000 each for every game they lost.
