Eight Men OutRead about another book on the list.
by Eliot Asinof
Gambling and baseball make an infamously potent combination. Eliot Asinof gives the subject a close and compelling study in this chronicle of the oddsmakers, owners, and players (both crafty and clueless) involved in baseball's most shattering scandal: the throwing of the 1919 World Series by the heavily favored Chicago White Sox -- known to posterity as the Black Sox.
--Marshal Zeringue
