James, I understand that Comiskey was a jerk and cheapskate but that doesn't excuse what the players did. Just because my boss is a cheapskate doesn't give me the right to steal from the company. Those players signed contracts to play for a certain amount of money, if they didn't like it, they could go back to working in the mines or carrying ice etc. I get a tad tired of the "oh poor players" excuse as most made 100X what the average worker of those days made. We're they paid and treated like the players of today? No, but they didn't suffer much either considering the alternative.
Just my opinion, take it or leave it.
