Earlier this year I finally added my first card of one of the Black Sox banned for life for throwing the 1919 World Series: Eddie Cicotte. The card is a gloriously miscut 1921 W516-2-2 strip card with two names and a gigantic top border. It's been slabbed as Authentic by SGC and makes for a fun addition to my Vintage PC.
Cicotte, one of the first true knuckleballers, eventually grew into one of the better hurlers of his time but felt underpaid like many of his teammates. He eventually agreed to participate -- allegedly -- in the throwing of the 1919 World Series when he realized there was no way he would get a previously-promised bonus.
