Talkin "Black Sox " guys....show your Tobacco, Candy, etc. cards of those "involved"
Eddie Cicotte's 1917 W - L = 28 - 12 (White Sox are World Champs)
Eddie Cicotte's 1919 W - L = 29 - 7 (White Sox are AL Champs) Comiskey had promised Eddie Cicotte a $10,000 bonus if he could win 30 games in a season. In 1919, when Cicotte closed in on the 30-game goal, Comiskey had him benched to keep him from reaching the mark. Comiskey's stated reason for having manager Kid Gleason bench Cicotte was that with the Sox headed for the World Series he had to protect his star pitcher's arm. What a laugh....Cicotte was a "knuckle-ball" pitcher (and a very effective one). Both Cicotte and Gandil requested salary hikes.....Comiskey denied them both. The rest is history.  .
