Rothstein: The Life, Times, and Murder of the Criminal Genius Who Fixed the 1919 World Series, by David Pietrusza, is a must read book to understand the BlackSox matter. Short of reading that I now think that a fellow's merely scratched the surface. After reading that I'm satisfied that Arnold Rothstein had orchestrated two separate, simultaneous fixes, to insure that the fix was in. And that duality is what is perceived as somewhat confusing or inconsistent when someone only partly examines the events.

Weaver knew what was happening, he should have told, he deserved his fate. He was a good ballplayer, an interesting and sympathetic fellow.
