Show your cards of members of the "Black Sox" team and/or related characters
I will start this show with Mgr. Kid Gleason and 4 of the players on the 1919 White Sox team. Also included, are the alleged "messengers"
between the bad guys and the players during this World Series scandal....Bill Burns and former Boxer Abe Attell. http://i603.photobucket.com/albums/t...blacksox50.jpg http://i603.photobucket.com/albums/t...kgandil50x.jpg T-Rex TED |

Thanks for the thread. I have been fascinated by this team since I was 8 years old. I have always felt bad for Buck Weaver, think he got screwed, the rest of them, well...
Don't own any cards of the Black Sox yet, but if I were to collect, I think it would be Weaver cards. Cheers, Jim |

The Joe Jax CJ is very nice!
Incidentally, They all got what they deserved. Kudos to Landis for having the cajones that Selig never will. http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c3...etwo-names.jpg |

Hey guys....let's not forget Ray Schalk, the 1919 White Sox great catcher....he was one of the "honest guys"
in that World Series. And, good enough to eventually be inducted into the HOF. http://i603.photobucket.com/albums/t...chalkHOFpc.jpg T-Rex TED |
OK Ted

Love that M101-6, Todd!
Here is an E107 of Kid Gleason with the tough Breisch-Williams overprint back http://photos.imageevent.com/ltsgall...%20Gleason.jpghttp://photos.imageevent.com/ltsgall...int%20back.jpg |
Thanks Brian--that Breisch isn't too shabby either!
Red Faber--don't know if he's truly considered one of the Black Sox since he missed that infamous World Series with a bum ankle, but he was in the rotation during the season and is a HOFer, so here's another m101-6: http://photos.imageevent.com/imoverh...m1016faber.jpg |

Having been born shortly after his father was wounded in the Civil War at the battle of Kennesaw Mountain, Georgia....
his parents named him after that event. Does anyone here have any vintage cards or pictures of Commissioner Landis ? Please post them here. http://i603.photobucket.com/albums/t...wmtnlandis.jpg T-Rex TED |

Hal Chase was indicted as an alleged middleman in the Black Sox scandal. However, he avoided extradition to Chicago, from his home in California. His role in the scandal was never definitively established. Baseball Commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis never officially expelled Chase from org- anized baseball. TED Z |

Black Sox TRIVIA
Oct 9th 1919, the 8th (and final) game of this World Series was played at Comiskey Park, and we all know what happened.
But, did you know that this day was also the Anniversary of the Great Chicago Fire of 1871.....strange coincidence. http://i603.photobucket.com/albums/t...hicagofire.jpg http://i603.photobucket.com/albums/t...icagofireb.jpg TED Z |

Here are some of my cards regarding the Black Sox. In the early '80s I wrote to a couple of players from the 1919 World Series that were still living, and Ray Fisher provided this answer when asked about Joe Jackson's play during the series.
I also corresponded with Joe Jackson's sister who was very nice and said that he had been a good brother to her and that she did not agree with everything in Donald Gropman's book, "Say it Ain't So, Joe". I sent her the Dover reprint Cracker Jack card of her brother, as she did not have any of his cards. Thsi is the first time I have tried to attach pictures, so I am sorry if they look a little goofy.

Hi Andy,
Sorry that the note didn't come out more clearly. It says: Ann Arbor, Dec. 16 / 80 Dear Mr. Alcorn, I do not remember seeing Joe making any bad play in the series. Yours truly, Ray L. Fisher I can send you a larger scan if you would like, just let me know. Jeff |
You don't really need to send a larger scan. Thank you for letting me know.

Judson, you are right. The three poker chips are from the Brook Club, Arnold Rothstein's club. That's a great book, tremendous insight into what happened, much more than from anything else I ever read about 1919. What seems likely to me is that Mr. Rothstein didn't leave anything to chance, he had 2 separate fixes in on the World Series, each independent and unknown to the other. All he needed was for one to work. I think both worked to some extent.
In Mr. Pietrusza's book I think he has a photograph that shows a poker chip or two, just like these. And that's one fine Attell signature. I've never seen one of those. Impressive. |
