Money, money, money… money.

Rhonda Rodentilly, Document Historian

Here is something very interesting… and cool.  The players shared in the ticket receipts for the first five games of the World Series.  As it turned out the winners would get about $5,000 each and the losers would get $3,254 each.  Why is this interesting?  Keep in mind that the Black Sox have gotten around $5,000 each so far from the gamblers.  Of course, Cicotte and Gandil have gotten more, but… whoa!  They could have done fine just winning the Series, or so it seems!
