I think only 3, maybe 4 of the Black Sox could argue they were under paid/under valued
Happy Felsch Lefty Williams Joe Jackson and maybe Gandil... Gandil thought really highly of himself and was always chasing the bigger check, I have zero doubt he thought he was underpaid and deserved more...I'd have to check but I think it might have been his lawyer in 1920-21 that started this whole narrative of underpaid players...Logically being a ringleader he used this tactic in recruiting others. Worth noting that those were the 3 less educated of the White Sox and Gandil the most narcissistic (besides maybe Eddie Collins) Last edited by ThomasL; 11-10-2021 at 08:25 AM. |

Here is a chart printed in the New York Herald during the trial showing the White Sox salaries for 1919 season. Almost certainly leaked by Comiskey and his lawyers to combat the narrative by the players' defense team.
interesting that is shows Gandil didnt receive WS share I wish it gave details on the bonuses paid out...would have helped prove or disprove some stories that have emerged over time |
