1919 World Series

The 1919 World Series was played between the Chicago White Sox and the Cincinnati Reds. Due to increased enthusiasm in baseball after World War I, Major League Baseball decided on a best-of-nine format for the 1919 World Series. Eight members of the Chicago franchise conspired with gamblers to throw (intentionally lose) games. The conspiracy is often known as the Black Sox scandal.
