ed. note: during my historical replay, I decided to keep an eye out for a team in the late teens that blew a World Series they were supposed to win, and when that happened, I decided to check the players on the team.

If 6 or more players both a) had a greed rating of 6 or higher (2-8 scale) and b) performed significantly lower during the World Series than they did during the Regular Season, an investigation would have to take place to see whether or not the games were fixed.

In 1919, (of all years!) the heavily favoured New York Giants met the Chicago White Sox (ironically) in the Fall Classic. They lost, and the series went to the ninth game. Presented are the starting eight, and the pitching staff of the '19 Giants.

Your votes will help decide who gets indicted for cheating. My assumption is that players with high greed and notably worse stats were probably involved, and also possibly some players with low greed but also low intelligence.

Please feel free to discuss who you think threw games and who you think didn't before making your final vote. Any information you might need, I'll be happy to provide. Anyone with over 50% votes will be banned from my historical simulation for LIFE!
