Eight Men Out was a great movie. But Asinof's book was written over 45 years ago. A lot more details have come out about the story since then. For a more up-to-date version of the events, I suggest reading Gene Carney's Burying The Black Sox. An absolute must read for anyone interested in the Black Sox story and/or Joe Jackson. Some of the things that you thought you knew about the scandal(s) will surprise you.
