1920 - Eight Chicago White Sox players were charged with fixing the 1919 World Series.

And a great movie was made based on this event call Eight Men Out!

Plot Outline: A dramatization of the Black Sox scandal when the underpaid Chicago White Sox accepted bribes to deliberately lose the 1919 World Series.

With John Cusack and Charlie Sheen and D.B Sweeney! Great baseball movie! Enjoy!

2. What legendary card cheat and proposition bet con artist worked for the answer to #1?
