Eight Men Out
The Chicago White Sox team of 1919 may be your team. The team is sour in their own championships, and also in their pennypincher owner, Charles Comiskey. Gamblers make the most of this chance to offer a few players $ to throw the show (Many of those players didn't get as far as guaranteed ) However, play and the wonderful Shoeless Joe Jackson and Buck Weaver turn back at the last minute to try their very best. The Sox actually nearly come back from a 3-1 deficit. 2 years after, the facts breaks from the Sox are sued on accounts. Baseball commissioner Landis has additional plans although They're found innocent by the jury. The eight players have been suspended for lifetime, and Buck Weaver, for the remainder of his life, tries to clean his name.
