The 1919 Major League Baseball Season, is best remembered for the Black Sox Scandal, in which the Chicago White Sox threw (purposely lost) the World Series to the Cincinnati Reds, 5–3, in order to illegally gain money from gambling. This scandal resulted in commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis banning eight players from baseball for life, most controversially the star outfielder Shoeless Joe Jackson, whose involvement in the match fixing is disputed.^[1] The season began on April 19, 1919 when the Brooklyn Robins defeated the Boston Braves 5–2 at Braves Field in the first game of a double header.^[2] The regular season ended on September 29 with the New York Yankees defeating the Philadelphia Athletics 4–2 at Shibe Park,^[3] with the infamous 1919 World Series opening two days later in Cincinnati.
