Is it smart for the Red Sox to try to sign David Price this offseason? There is lots of spiculation on whether the Red Sox will shoot for the all star pitcher but there is no answer currently.

Although he is getting older and his skills are decreasing, he would be a strong pick up for the Boston Red Sox.

This article is very important to think about the Black Sox Scandal. Joe Jackson was the one of the greatest baseball players in MLB history, so many people still argued that he should reinstate in the MLB. Also, his confession letter stole from someone, so some people believed that lifetime ban is too much.

The players on the Charles Comiskey's 1919 Chicago White Sox team were a fractious lot. The club was divided into two "gangs" of players, each with practically nothing to say to the other. Together they formed the best team in baseball, perhaps one of the best teams that ever played the game, yet they--like all ball players of the time--were paid a fraction of what they were worth. The White Sox owner paid two of his greatest stars, outfielder "Shoeless" Joe Jackson and third baseman Buck Weaver, only $6000 a year. Comiskey's decision to save expenses by reducing the number of times uniforms were laundered gave rise to the original meaning of "The Black Sox."

In this case , Commissioner Selig seems to have a particular interest of exposing Alex Rodriguez. Commissioner Selig even hired private investigators beside the M.L.B’s in house investigative department without consulting with he rest of the group. Commissioner Selig was not order to testify and refused to meet with Mr. Rodriguez provoking a unfair situation in this particular case. It seems to be a personal matter against Mr. Rodriguez based on the unprecedented penalty imposed by Commissioner Selig and his continuing refusal to testify under oath. I think at this point the arbitration process under the Basic Agreement has not been fair and effective in resolving this dispute and protecting Alex Rodriguez’s rights as a

This film plays a major part in exemplifying key aspects of baseball history. The Black Sox Scandal was a devastating event in history that caused spectators and fans to question the integrity of the game; they became skeptical on coming to games because they would not know if it was a real game or fixed. The eight players involved, hence the title of the film, were Eddie Cicotte, Chick Gandil, Oscar Felsch, Joe Jackson, Fred McMullin, Swede Risberg, Buck Weaver and Claude Williams. These players were bribed to throw the 1919 World Series game of the Chicago White Sox and Cincinnati Red for $10,000 each by gamblers Joseph “Sport” Sullivan, William “Sleepy Bill” Burns, and Billy Maharg. Although this was their original plan, the players remained unpaid and decided to play and win the rest of the games.

Well if you are like me, you watched the Rangers win a back and fourth game that was the epitome of September baseball, were overcome by joy, and then passed out because you were just flat out tired. For a game that ended on Wednesday morning, a Rangers win would have been the only acceptable outcome. For me the game meant waking up and walking to class quite sluggishly, and for many of you I 'm sure it meant a long day ahead at work, staring at the clock waiting for it to be 5:00pm. You 'll probably even sit there thinking, I 'm definitely not going to do that again tonight. But I 'm here to tell you that you are, and you are for a while, because this team is fun to watch

“You ask yourself the question: does the public need to know this? Sometimes the answer is yes. Sometimes the answer is no.” This quote is in the novel Change Up: Mystery at the World Series, written by author John Feinstein. The genre of the novel is realistic fiction, because a reporter could attend a World series featuring the Boston Red Sox and the Washington Nationals.

Not only were they able to create a national league that would eventually go on to become the multibillion dollar enterprise that is the MLB, they were able to capitalize on the weakly regulated pay scale and reap the benefits of those looking to invest in the team by any means. This bureaucratic level of control and regulation within the league is why sponsors like Gatorade dominate the dugout and Rawling dominates the brand of baseball used. Yet the monopoly of the MLB is still adored across America, as fans of all walks of life continue to attend games and support the bureaucratic foundation it was built
