His last start on September 28 against the Tigers, he only pitched 2 innings and gave up 1 run on 3 hits. He had a legitimate shot at 30 wins but pitched poorly.

Curious. Eddie pitched the final game of the regular season, and was leading 2-1 after 2 innings. Why pitch him at all so close to the World Series if you're trying to save his arm? And one run in 2 innings is not exactly getting shelled. So I see where he can't complain about not being given a chance to meet his 30 win mark when he could have made it a few days prior against the substandard Browns, but I could also see where he might be miffed about that last game.

I dont disagree on the last game, maybe it was an actual tuneup to get some work.

Im just disputing the myth that he was benched. 8 Men Out has so many lies and myths, it should be a work of fiction. Its a shame that people continue to believe the lies when everything can be so easily checked today.

James..... "You're getting this from 8 Men Out and its wrong."

I have never seen the movie "Eight Men Out".....so, your assuming I did is incorrect.

I read what I posted regarding Comiskey / Cicotte many years ago; and, I don't recall the source.

Much information regarding this situation has been Sports writers theories, so we really don't know what the real facts are.
And, we'll most likely never know.

You're correct, I worded it wrong. I should've said "this came from 8 Men Out" instead. But it doesn't change the fact that its wrong information. Cicotte was not benched.

I acquired this 1919 White Sox team poster some years ago.

It is framed, and on display in my Sportscard office surrounded by all my vintage BB and FB uncut sheets.

I have no idea where it originally came from. Perhaps someone on this forum can identify the source of it.

Numbered to 1500 probably some kind of replica like these.

It's a 75th anniversary commemorative poster numbered to 1500.

I got mine when they first came out in I believe 1989 or 1990. They were printed on heavy parchment type paper and were numbered to 1500, and were printed from the original plates (that were supposedly destroyed after the print run).
