297 - Baseball on the South Side After the Black Sox, 1920-26 w/ Bruce S. Allardice

Bruce S. Allardice joins us this week to discuss the Chicago White Sox in the years immediately after the Black Sox scandal that tainted the 1919 World Series. Allardice is the author of After the Black Sox: The Chicago White Sox in Transition, 1920-1926 (McFarland Press 2026). The discussion covers the World Series scandal, the players involved, the "Clean Sox" - players like Dickie Kerr and Eddie Collins that were not involved in the fix, and the White Sox in the years that follow the team being decimated by the lifetime suspensions.
