Cincinnati Reds wrap up the most tainted World Series in history by defeating the Chicago White Sox, 10-5

On October 9, 1919, At Comiskey Park the Cincinnati Reds wrap up the most tainted World Series in history by defeating the Chicago White Sox, 10-5. Lefty Williams, one of the eight ā€œBlack Sox,ā€ allows four runs in the first inning and retires only one batterā€¦

The White Sox drop the World Series to the underdog Reds, five games to 3. Before next season begins, eight Chicago players, including Shoeless Joe Jackson, will be accused of accepting bribes to throw the games purposely.
