In what year did the infamous Chicago "Black Sox" intentionally lose the World Series to the Cincinnati Reds in exchange for big sacks of money?
Answer 1919
Eight players, including "Shoeless" Joe Jackson, were given a permanent ban from baseball for their alleged involvement in the scandal. In addition to being portrayed in films such as "Eight Men Out" and "Field of Dreams," the scandal is also noteworthy because the position of Commissioner of Major League Baseball was created in order to discipline Jackson and the others.
