“Baseball’s darkest day” by Bryan Brown offers a very straightforward summary of the 1919 Chicago Black Sox Scandal. It provides distinctive details that really bring the story to life. For example, it discusses the acquisition of two of the starting pitchers, including Eddie Cicotte who was upset with the owner of the White Sox at the time. The article was published in New York Times Upfront, which is a branch of the New York Times, which is a very credible and respected publication. In regards to my paper, this article provided great insight into the minds of the people involved in the scandal, including quotes from Joe Jackson and the commissioner of baseball, Kenesaw Mountain Landis.
