Shoeless Joe Jackson batted .375 with 12 hits in the eight games. He led the White Sox with six RBI and hit their only home run. Yet, in my opinion, looking at the full details of Jackson’s performance in the 1919 Series would actually support my belief that Shoeless Joe played dishonestly. That…

After 12 scoreless innings, Cincinnati scores 10 runs in the 13th inning to beat Al Mamaux and the Robins, 10 – 0. Reds RF Alfred “Greasy” Neale has a record 10 putouts. Hod Eller’s scoreless string will end at 22, but he will go on to win 10 in a row.
1919 – The Brooklyn Robins trade first baseman Jake Daubert to the Cincinnati Reds for outfielder Tommy Griffith. Daubert, a former National League MVP with Brooklyn, is shipped out shortly after receiving an out-of-court settlement from the Robins for the balance of his salary ($2,150) because the 1918 season ended a month early.
New York Giants trade first baseman Fred Merkle
Brooklyn’s Jake Daubert sets a National League record with four sacrifices in one game. The first baseman’s efforts aren’t enough when the Dodgers drop an 8-7 decision to Philadelphia at Ebbets Field.
The Robins drum the Braves, sweeping a doubleheader, 7 – 5 in 11 innings and 4 – 3 in the nitecap. The nitecap is especially hard fought: Lefty Tyler plunks Dodger SS Ollie O’Mara on the neck and when Jake Daubertcrosses the plate with the winning run in the 9th, he collides with Braves C Hank Gowdy and is knocked unconscious. Boston (26-40) is 10 1/2 games in back of New York.

Inspired in part by the Ty Cobb suspension and the Tigers’ brief strike in May, the formation of a “Players Fraternity” is announced, headed by attorney and former player Dave Fultz. Leading players include Cobb, Christy Mathewson, Mickey Doolan, and Jake Daubert. The goals are to oppose contract violations, rowdyism, and anything that may “impair a player’s ability.”
The Giants lose a heartbreaker to Brooklyn in the 9th inning when, with Bert Tooley on first base, Jake Daubert lofts a high fly for the apparent third out. But Fred Snodgrassdrops the ball and Tooley scores the final run in the Superbas’ 4 – 3 win. The Giants are virtually tied with the Cubs, winners of two today.
