Should Major League Baseball absolve the 1919 Chicago White Sox? Notoriously known as the Black Sox (though the origins of the name coming as a result of the scandal is disputed), the whole story is filled with personal human interest stories, murky details (even the involvement of Shoeless Joe Jackson is questioned) and mob folklore - Arnold Rothstein was said to be the mastermind behind the whole ordeal.
At what point does the whole ordeal become a showcase in hypocrisy? It’s been 89 years since the incident.
Have they paid their dues?
