In recent weeks there has been increased scrutiny into the 1918 world championship between the Cubs and the Red Sox, and questions about the legitimacy of the outcome; the Red Sox defeated the Cubs.
It has always appeared clear to me that the Red sox do not win honestly, and do not compete for free agents and rookies with legitimate tactics.
The smoking gun, in this case, is a court deposition taken in 1920, in which one of the convicted Black Sox from 1919 ( Eddie Cicotte ) talked about how several Cubs were offered $10,000 by Red Sox supporters to fix the 1918 World Series.
The evidence points to how, " from the beginning of game 4, things started to look funny or wrong on the field." A series of strange blunders became the trademark of each game the Red sox won and the Cubs lost.
Based upon this revelation, and the general sense that the Red Sox would not win anything through legitimate effort, there are now persistent rumors that the Attorney General of New York State may soon begin investigations into the Red Sox victory over the Yankees in 2004.
It is about time, say I.
