There is an interesting political connection to the 1919 World Series.  Politics always come into play, you just can’t keep them out.  Can’t keep them out.  Where is the connection?  It all comes down to Arnold Rothstein.  In order to become as big as Rothstein did in the underworld, you need protection from the law.  Rothstein’s protection came from Tammany Hall in New York.  Remember Tammany Hall?  That’s right, it helped Aaron Burr win elections in New York.  In New York.  Just go to our old Burr versus Hamilton category to remind yourself.  Does that mean that Aaron Burr, in some roundabout way, helped fix the 1919 World Series?  Probably not.  Plus that is a lot to pile on a man who is already holding the killing of Alexander Hamilton and treason.
