Just watched this one. Cracking film. Is it the truth? Looked like a few gaps in the narrative to me.
The film tried to show why they sold out. Charles Comisky was a prick Eddie Ciccotte was their best pitcher. He made $6,000 a year. There was a clause in his contract that he would get a $10,000 bonus if he won 30 games. He won 29 with three starts left and Comisky ordered him benched Of course Ciccotte took a bribe
How should we know? You claim that you watched it, and if it was anyone else, there would be little reason to doubt the truth of such a claim, but given that it's you, and given your long-established history of being rather solidly removed from truth, I think it would be foolish to assume, just because you claim to have watched something that it is the truth.
