Jeff, that's an interesting comment about Chase not being banned. Some sources say he was officially banned, others say he was banned on a more "informal basis." He never returned for the 1920 season (he was probably too busy enjoying his 1919 World Series betting winnings!), so he never really gave Kenesaw Mountain Landis a chance to give him the "official" boot. But there was no way Landis was going to let him play. I understand Chase tried to play in the PCL, but Landis pressured the league to keep him out ...
