1919 Black Sox Book?
I'm looking for recommendations for a good 1919 Black Sox book. I'd like to read a book that includes newer research ... but ... a book that is also a fun/easy read ... if such a book exists :-) Any recommendations welcome. Thanks!

Re: 1919 Black Sox Book?
Jerry,
I highly recommend Gene Carney's Burying the Black Sox. This book came out a few years ago and can be had for about $10. https://www.amazon.com/Burying-Black.../dp/1597971081 It was written by the late Gene Carney who was a very close, dear friend of mine. This book is a scholarly work, so you probably won't find it fun/easy to read. However, if you're looking for newer and factual research this is as good as it gets. Best, ErikV |

Later research has shown this one to be inaccurate.

Thanks!
Thanks for all the replies so far! I'm leaning towards The Betrayal: The 1919 World Series and the Birth of Modern Baseball ... at the moment ... but will keep my options open. For anyone who has read The Betrayal ... is it an easy read? Again thanks for the feedback! Jerry.

I highly recommend The Betrayal: The 1919 World Series and the Birth of Modern Baseball by Charles Fountain.
https://www.amazon.com/Betrayal-Worl...odern+baseball Released in October 2015. Fresh research, re-examines myths surrounding the issue and puts some excellent historical perspective around those events - the climate and circumstances in the years leading up to and following that season and that Series. This book was a 2015 Casey Award finalist for best baseball book of the year. |
