1919 World Series Program Sold at Auction
The 1919 World Series is remembered for the infamous Black Sox scandal where players from the Chicago White Sox arranged to throw the World Series against the Cincinnati Reds in exchange for a large payout. Eight players from the White Sox were eventually banned for life from Major League Baseball for their involvement in the conspiracy. Shoeless Joe Jackson, one of the best hitters of the league in 1919, was one of the most controversial banned players as he professed his innocence for the remainder of his life. The Black Sox scandal was written about in the book “Eight Men Out” and adapted into the 1988 film of the same name.

1919 World Series Ticket Stub Game 2
Extraordinary high-grade ticket stub from Game 2 of the 1919 World Series, held at Cincinnati’s Redland Field. Game 2 of the 1919 World Series witnessed another lackluster effort by Chicago’s infamous “eight men out” as they conspired to “throw” the Series to the Reds. The main culprit in this game was pitcher Lefty Williams. Although Williams made a better attempt to conceal his deliberate ineffectiveness than did Eddie Cicotte in Game 1, the result was the same. Williams allowed just four hits, but his six walks helped the Reds score all the runs they would need in a 4-2 win against the punchless White Sox. Stub measures approximately 4.25″ x 2″. Few, if any, 1919 World Series ticket stubs have survived in near mint condition, but this example comes close. Only two very small horizontal surface wrinkles extend from right border and one would be hard pressed to find a finer example. Sold for $3,010.
