No Citgo Sign in LF?
Some rumors that the 1914 WS was fixed or that the Athletics laid down to put the screws to Connie Mack. Some supposed heavy wagers placed by 1919 gambler Sport Sullivan. No real evidence. I think people needed an explanation for such an improbable tale as the Miracle Braves. They were a lot like the 1969 Mets. A team that had been God awful for years, buried by July, caught fire, won the pennant and whupped a team in the Series that looked 100x better on paper.
