The Plan
The plan to fix was an egg hatched between big time sports gambler, Joe "Sport" Sullivan and the Chicago White Sox's Chick Gandil. The idea was that the gamblers would supply the players with $100,000. The players would get the money if they agreed to throw the games, therefore throwing the series. The way the players would throw the games was to let up on important plays, therefore allowing the other team to score, and they wouldn't get hits.
