1919 World Series Fixing Scandal! Voters needed!
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! EVIDENCE FOR THE PROSECUTION Quote:

I take it that it was meant to be multiple-choice.
Well, if I had mod powers in this forum, I'd try to help, but I don't.

I would certainly say Burns is guilty. Dumb, greedy, and couldnt hit the side of a barn in the playoffs.
If he had accomplises, I think Merkle is a good candidate. Another greedy dumb guy. However, his OBP isnt that far off from his regular season number, with a small sample size of playoff appearances, but he certainly didnt put any power into whatever he was hitting. Snodgrass is another one I would suspect if I had to pick another one The others just seem like they got outplayed.

It's like saying when you try to extrapolate the end of the universe, you say, if the universe is indeed infinite, then how - what does that mean? How far is all the way, and then if it stops, what's stopping it, and what's behind what's stopping it? So, what's the end, you know, is my question to you.

Could you provide a account of what each player did in each game? I mean if he doesnt get a hit everytime players are in scoring position or until his team is way behind or if he just happens to make an error with a runner on third and is greedy then it might give us a better idea of who to pick. Right now i cant see a player being guilty simply because he wants a lot of money and cant hit in the series.

I'm with Nukester, but the poll only allows one vote!
