1919 World Series Game 3 Ticket Stub | Black Sox Scandal (PSA 3)

Full Ticket Stub from Game of the 1919 World Series has been graded (PSA) 3 (Very Good).

The 1919 World Series is one of the most infamous in baseball history due to the Black Sox Scandal. It featured the Chicago White Sox against the Cincinnati Reds, and the series became notorious because eight White Sox players, including stars like Shoeless Joe Jackson, were accused of deliberately throwing the series in exchange for money from gamblers.

Game 3, played on October 4, 1919, was a pivotal moment in the series, as it showcased both the White Sox's poor play and the scandal's brewing tension. The Reds won the game 3-0, with the Sox seemingly making uncharacteristic mistakes, such as poor fielding and lackluster pitching. This game further raised suspicions about the integrity of the White Sox players.

The White Sox's underperformance in this game, as well as others, seemed too deliberate for many fans and analysts. Some players made costly errors, while others appeared to give less effort than usual, fueling rumors that the players were indeed throwing the games. The Reds' victory in Game 3 was part of a larger trend, as they went on to win the series 5-3.

In the aftermath of the series, an investigation uncovered the players' involvement in a conspiracy to fix the series, leading to the permanent suspension of eight White Sox players. Game 3 became a key piece of evidence in confirming the suspicions that the 1919 World Series had been tainted, forever casting a shadow over what should have been a celebrated sporting event.
