It makes for an interesting and alternative perspective on this event....as told by a ballplayer who was part of it.

I'd like to read that...I don't believe it one bit..there is too much evidence showing the Sox threw the series. Of course I've also read some stuff saying that the Reds were trying to throw some of the games too. It sucks that guys like Buck Weaver and Joe Jackson were banned from baseball, but the overall effect of KML's harsh actions may have saved the National Pastime from becoming a total farce.
