White Sox and Black Sox [Newspaper Article]

With the Chicago White Sox professional baseball team on the verge of winning a World Series title for the first time in decades... Wall Street Journal reporter Stephan Fatsis has produced an excellent article that investigates some of the more recent discoveries relating to the Chicago Black Sox scandal of 1919. The scandal involved eight members of the Sox who allegedly conspired with gamblers to throw the World Series.

Fatsis is the author of a very interesting book titled "Word Freak: Heartbreak, Triumph, Genius and Obsession in the World of Competitive Scrabble Players."A must read for all Scrabble players!
