Cubs and 1918 World Series

Surprised no one posted it here. Even if it has validity, I doubt it makes much of a stir but it certainly makes for an interesting history lesson...

Yawn.

Most World Series back then were under a cloud of suspicion of being fixed. This isn't news. Hell, I honestly think if you want to make excuses or believe in "curses", which don't exist, you have to look at the karma associated with the Cubs winning their last WS in part because of Fred Merkle's mistake, which may not have even happened.

Posted about this a long time ago before the media brought it up again, I think they threw it.

Then again Boston had the better pitching staff, Chicago was playing at Comisky Park(which was an advantage to the Red Sox) and the entire Series was a joke. The players almost went on strike during it. Whether it was thrown or not a case could be made that neither team was really all that into playing hard.
