Did you go in for a second PhonyDoctor in Statistics? Certainly seems like they'd both be pretty relevant, and almost unavoidably intertwined with any evidence hunt for historical shenanigans. Just curious, I'd find that analysis fascinating. |

Itīs important to remember that a lot of guys back then were thought to have thrown games here and there and so the culture was certainly in place. It was so much a part of the game that even after 1919 it still didnīt go away completely. Fred Lieb wrote some interesting things about Carl Mays and Joe Bush supposedly throwing games in the 1920s. Havenīt thought about this stuff in years, makes me want to do all the research again.

I was happy to learn about it. Did my own research and read about an alleged doubleheader that was thrown and repaid with a thrown three-game series.
It's a bit shocking to my modern sensibilities.... So I was super psyched to read about it. |

I think it would be fun to make a "fishy business" team if there were enough cards to fill it. You could have the Black Sox of course, and Heinie Zimmerman, who already has a card, Hal Chase at first, Carl Mays, Joe Bush, even John McGraw himself was rumored to be a bit shady. You could add in Eddie Collins, whom everyone thinks played it straight but nonetheless was on both the ī14 Aīs and ī19 White Sox. Thatīs some good players there!

My buddy and I started a 1901 historical OOTP last year and we're still going in 1942. We started GM'ing the Phillies to start the game and at one point had Hal Chase then Chick Gandi As we were swilling some beer I mentioned "I wonder how many games we've lost with those two clowns on the team.
