1919 Red Sox owner Harry Frazee announces they will deal any player except Harry Hooper, Hooper is sent to the White Sox after 1920 season







The Red Sox have still not won a Championship since.

Champions in 1918, they traded the Babe away in 1919, Hooper left in 1920!

The 1919 World Series resulted in the most famous scandal in baseball history. Eight players from the Chicago White Sox (later nicknamed the Black Sox) were accused of throwing the series against the Cincinnati Reds.

What a disaster for poor Harry Hooper.

Actually he had a better hitting average after becoming a player for the Chicago team.

He went from a Championship team to what was likely the most scandal ridden sports situations of all time!
