1919 Black Sox Book?

[Tom Hufford]

I highly recommend Scandal on the South Side, edited by Jacob Pomrenke and published by SABR in 2015. You can get it through Amazon, but if you're a SABR member (www.sabr.org) you can download it free, or get a printed copy at 50% off.

Even if you don't want the book, you should be a SABR member!

Bill Lamb just wrote "Black Sox in the Courtroom" recently if you are looking for a book on the litigation after the fact.
Good, well researched read.

Thanks for all the replies! I decided to get "The Betrayal ..." by Charles Fountain. Good book so far. Thanks again for all the feedback!

I have finished reading "Burying the Black Sox", the excellent Gene Carney book mentioned above. If anybody is interested, and lives in the US, I'd be happy to give them my copy. It's definitely worn and read but it's all there and very readable.

I also have these books available for free:

Stealing Games (McGraw's Giants)
War on the Basepaths (Ty Cobb)
Fall From Grace (Joe Jackson)
The Bubblegum Card War (Topps/Bowman history)
America's Game (history of the NFL)

Just shoot me a PM if you're interested.
