Mr. Kent i want to welcome you to cooperstown. I am the director here, david kent. We are very fortunate tonight to have an esteemed historian and writer who is not only an historian. He is very into baseball. That is a good combination. Right now, it is the 100th anniversary of one of the most infamous scandals in baseball history, the black sox scandal, where numbers of the Chicago White sox were accused up during world series to the cincinnati reds.

David we are gathered here on the eve of this years world series, and 100 years ago, who knew there was going to be another world series . Once that scandal was exposed, and trust in base
