SportsCenter Flashback: 1919 World Series Chicago Black Sox

Classic Classic Sports was the right up there with the Biography Channel and the History Channel when it wasn’t about scumbags owning pawnshops.

I miss espn classic it was great I wish they would bring it back

"Eight men out" great movie

Man those commercials bring back memories lol 😢

You can never find a word about the 1919 Reds. The first champion for one of the oldest franchises in baseball history and its like it never happened.

Shoeless Joe Jackson SHOULD be in the Baseball Hall of Fame, in my opinion!

Comiskey knew a helluva lot more than anyone lets on. By no means, was he an innocent victim! If Joe Jackson went to management and said he didn't want to play and there was a lot of other chatter - Comiskey and management knew what was happening, and YET they chose to do NOTHING.   I'd bet a lot of owners back then knew it was going on, lots of gambling and betting, but because it was part of the culture, I'm sure they figured they'd turn a blind eye to it. Hell, the owners may have very well been betting on their own teams too.

1:51 I wanna play baseball in 1919! That sounds fun as hell.

When ESPN did sports and not social justice.

Joe Jackson , Pete Rose & Dick Allen belong in the HOF

Since this documentary, much more information has become available which was not available to Eliot Asinof when he wrote his book "Eight Men Out" in 1963 and the 1988 John Sayles movie of the same title. Look up Eight Myths Out by Jacob Pomrenke for an updated and more accurate assessment of the 1919 World Series scandal.

Any Blue Jays games from 1999 to 2000?

That's interesting...Swede Risbergs son mentioning his dad played in blackface...tried to pass himself off as black to earn a buck😮 That exchange at 48:15 between Cobb and Jackson hit me harder than I expected

What did Dick Allen do?

Shoeless Joe MUST be allowed InTo the Baseball HoF

I hope they upload more of these

As kay x says Comiskey was the cheapest bastard at that time in baseball all teams had the players uniforms cleaned except Comiskey AND Screwed Ciccotte in the last game took out with a 3-1 lead against Detroit and lost 10-9 And Ciccotte spit in Comiskey face..... ....

19:15 yes you forgot to mention they were totally useless yards as he never won a f*cking thing with them.

Today. FanDuel, MGM bet, Fox. Bet. Is ok?? Hypocrisy. THEY ALL GAMBLE.
