PS, the decapitated duck isn't meant to be artsy or symbolic. A two year old threw it against the wall.

We're back with the classic baseball book, Eight Men Out. The casual baseball fan is probably familiar with the 1919 Black Sox scandal but doesn't know all the details.
We discuss the events of the book as well as today's mix of gambling and sports and how things have changed and stayed the same. Enjoy!
