The acts themsevles are an important part of the sports history, but I find the response to the situation to be most important. The public outcry and severe punishments handed out..it all served to cement the high regard to which we hold the game. We demand more honesty and integrity out of baseball players than we do many other professions and I think its because we care more about our sport. I like it that way. I think the '19 Black Sox scandal creates an attractive event to collect because, despite the actions of the players, the response represents the high regard that FANS held the game back then and still do. If the scandal would have taken place with other sports of the day, would we have cared?
