White Sox news: $1 million baseball part of Chicago lore ...

The baseball used in the 1919 World Series between the Chicago White Sox and Cincinnati Reds is worth $1 million. It was found in a time capsule from the Tribune tower in Chicago. The capsule was opened last June. This baseball will be displayed at the Chicago Sports Museum. The series was won by the Reds on purpose because gamblers paid them off. Eight players were banned from playing the sport because of their involvement in throwing the World series. They were Shoeless Joe Jackson, Hod Eller, and Joe. Jackson.
