Default E90-1.....and the "Dirty Thirty" theory

Posted By: Frank Wakefield

Why were Cincinnati, Cleveland and Boston teams printed last?? Maybe the guy going around and getting player permission (if that was done) didn't get to Ohio or Massachusetts first or second time around. In Philly someone could instantly get the home teams, and then wait for the others as the various teams in each league made their visit to Philly. I can't recall how long it was that Lajoie (and I think someone else) avoided road trips inside Pennsylvania because of that court case from where he jumped teams. An injunction restraining him from playing for other teams was issued at some point in time, and eventually recalled. I think E90-1 was issued after the injunction was lifted... I don't recall for certain.
