The Three Seasons

Kolohe says:

Narrator: The Chicago Cubs, defending National League champions, would finish 2nd that year, seven and a half games behind the New York (Baseball) Giants. The Cubs would move to (what is known now as) Wrigley Field a couple years later, and would win another pennant (and lose another World Series) in 1918.

The Chicago White Sox would also have a pretty good run at the end of the decade, winning the American League Pennant, and the World Series, in 1917, plus another pennant in 1919 – where they lost the World Series. Rumors of shenanigans circulating at the outset of the series, with some sudden odd gambling activity, but it wasn’t until a grand jury investigation the next year where the extent of the Black Sox scandal would become widely publicly known. (The grand jury investigation was mainly focused on the Sox, but was prompted by stories and rumors of other fixed games for the benefit of gamblers with insider knowledge across baseball)Report
