The Black Sox Scandal was a baseball cheating scandal in which eight members of the Chicago White Sox were accused of accepting bribes to lose the 1919 World Series to the Cincinnati Reds. Despite being acquitted in court, the players were banned from professional baseball for life. Perhaps the most notable banned player was Shoeless Joe Jackson.
