Game Three
Hmmm, well okay, here we go, Game Three. For this game we switch back to Chicago’s Comiskey Park. I can smell those hot dogs cooking now. Yum. Game Three had some different factors. For one, Dickie Kerr was pitching. He wasn’t in on the fix and he was part of the team that didn’t get along with the eight that were part of the fix. For two, the gamblers had left the players almost no money. With these two factors, things didn’t look good for the gamblers… or the Reds.
Dickie Kerr was a marvel on that day, October 3, 1919. It took him less than an hour and a half to pitch a three hit shutout. The Sox had seven hits and no errors. Chick Gandil even had two Runs Batted In. They wanted to win and make the gamblers sweat. It was payback for lack of payment. Hmmm, smell those dogs cooking. I gotta run.
