That is part of why I got such a kick out of that page. The losing players still got $78,000 divided by 24 on top of whatever they may have gotten for the purpose of losing.

For being a fifth grade arithmetic book, this one page really touches on a deeper message from the 1919 World Series. That’s why I thought it was so cool.

Very cool.
