greg- I appreciate your posts and case you are making for Cicotte...however you are posting outdated notions as historians view the 1919 WS which many have considered myths and not factual now. Cicotte being deliberately held out of games to stop a bonus from kicking in is a major one for example.

Also the plot to throw the WS was put in motion well before Cicotte had a chance to win 30 games...so that could not have been his motive. Gandil and Cicotte met with Bill Burns in Boston Sept 19th to discuss details of a possible fix if the Sox won the pennant...his last two starts when he could have won his 30th game the plot was already made to throw the series.
