1919 Historical league question

Michael Hopcroft · 06-14-2008, 03:37 PM

I'm thinking of doing a 1919 historical league and have an obvious and probably stupid question: will the eight Black Sox automatically be expelled from the game in 1920? I've always been curious what Joe Jackson would have done had he been able to play deep into the 1920s (not to mention what would have happened in 1919 had gamblers never fixed the series).

No they won't. If you wanted it to happen, you'd have to remove them yourself. Probably could use the "retire" player option.

All those Black Sox played in 1920, they weren't expelled until the fall of 1920.
