Say it ain’t so Joe Eight Men Out details scandal and figures
New book Eight Men Out by Eliot Asinof reexamines the 1919 World Series fix by Chicago White Sox players led by Chick Gandil with Buck Weaver resisting, implicating owner Comiskey and gamblers like Rothstein and Attell. The story blends baseball with social and moral critique set against pre-1920s America. A later note reports 92 year old Mrs. Fanny Powell joining the Women’s Institute in Minety, England.
