We are gathered here tonight on the eve of this years world ago, whod 100 years knows if they would be another world series after that scandal was exposed and whether trust in baseball was starting to evaporate very rapidly. Is eight men, that out. That is the story we know. That was the title of a book, a movie. The legends respond about that. Troubleot the start of in rivers city.
