Offered is a 1919 World Series Game 5 ticket stub to the Oct. 6th contest at Chicago's Comiskey Park won by Cincinnati, 5-0, a game that gave the Reds a 4-1 lead in the best-of-nine Series. With a regular season record of 88-52, a great pitching staff led by Eddie Cicotte and Lefty Williams, stars like Hall of Fame second baseman Eddie Collins and outfielder Joe Jackson, the White Sox were initially clear betting favorites to win the Series. Odds started to change in favor of the Reds as the start of the Series approached, and rumors about a White Sox fix became common. The 1919 Black Sox scandal became news late in the 1920 season, and a trial ended on August 2, 1921, resulting in the exoneration of the eight accused White Sox: Cicotte, Williams, Jackson, first baseman Chick Gandil, shortstop Swede Risberg, third baseman Buck Weaver, center fielder Happy Felsch, and reserve infielder Fred McMullin. The next day, Kenesaw Mountain Landis, Baseball's first commissioner, issued the following statement: "Regardless of the verdicts of juries, no player undertakes or promises to throw a ball game, no player that sits in conference with a bunch of crooked gamblers, where the ways and means of throwing ball games are planned and discussed and does not promptly tell his club about it, will ever play professional baseball...." In Game 5 of the Series, Cincinnati starter Hod Eller went the distance to shut out the White Sox. Lefty Williams started for Chicago and the Reds did most of their damage in the top of the 6th inning against Williams, as the Reds scored four runs, helped by a 2-run triple by Greasy Neale, later a well-known college football coach, and an error by Felsch. The ticket stub measures 2.3x3.75". In part, it reads, AMERICAN LEAGUE/Comiskey Park/Chicago/Rain Check 3 (the 3rd Chicago home game). The stub has been encapsulated and PSA graded EX-MT 6. This is the highest grade awarded to ANY 1919 World Series ticket on the PSA Pop Report, with this being the only Game 5 example. There is one PSA 6 for Game 1 and one PSA 6 for Game 3. The ticket stub makes a great remembrance of the 1919 World Series, particularly since tickets for the games in Chicago are much rarer than those in Cincinnati.
