  • Epub Books Eight Men
    Epub Books Eight Men Out: The Black Sox And The 1919 World Series The headlines proclaimed the 1919 fix of the World Series and attempted cover-up as "the most gigantic sporting swindle in the history of America!" First published in 1963, Eight Men Out has become a timeless classic. Eliot Asinof has reconstructed the entire scene-by-scene story of the fantastic scandal in which eight Chicago White Sox players arranged with the nation's leading gamblers to throw the Series in Cincinnati. Mr. Asinof vividly describes the tense meetings, the hitches in the conniving, the actual plays in which the Series was thrown, the Grand Jury indictment, and the famous 1921 trial. Moving behind the scenes, he perceptively examines the motives and backgrounds of the players and the conditions that made the improbable fix all too possible. Here, too, is a graphic picture of the American underworld that managed the fix, the deeply shocked newspapermen who uncovered the story, and the war-exhausted nation that turned with relief and pride to the Series, only to be rocked by the scandal. Far more than a superbly told baseball story, this is a compelling slice of American history in the aftermath of World War I and at the cusp of the Roaring Twenties.

  • Forgotten Washington Senators of the 1950S ©Diamondsinthedusk.Com
    Forgotten Washington Senators of the 1950s ©DiamondsintheDusk.com “Washington: First in war, first in peace, and still last in the American League.” Baseball Hall of Fame sports writer Charley Dryden (right) coins the above utterance during the 1904 season, when the Washington Senators finished 38-113 and a distant 55 1/2 games behind the American League pennant-winning Boston Americans. For its first 11 years of existence, the luckless franchise in the nation’s capital does its best to live up (or down) to Dryden’s cynicism by finishing last, or second to last, in all but two of those 11 years. Even Washington’s entry into the ill-fated United States Baseball League in 1912, finishes in fifth place with a 6-7 record before the league ceases opera- tion in June. Forty years later, Washington’s “Boys of Summer” once again do themselves proud. From 1950 to 1959, the Senators finish as high as fifth only three times and seventh or eighth (in an eight-team league) six times, while going through three managers. Where in my previous “Forgotten” article, Pittsburgh’s 1960 World Championship team clearly had its genesis from some of the bad Corsair teams of the 1950s, Minnesota’s American League championship team in 1965, does not derive itself from the previous Forgotten Senators of the 1950s decade. Only five players (albeit five good players) - Bob Allison, Jim Kaat, Harmon Killebrew, Camilo Pas- Bob Usher, 1957 cual and Zoilo Versalles - played for the original Senators’ franchise. In regards to the Forgotten Sena- Jesse Levan, 1954-55 Carlos Paula, 1954-56 tors’ first team, I selected one player for each of the eight field positions José Valdivielso, Roy Dietzel, 1954 and a eight-man pitching staff.
