Black Sox papers up for auction
A box containing thousands of rare documents, letters and memos that supposedly detail events surrounding the so-called Black Sox scandal of the 1919 World Series will be up for auction starting today at a suburban Chicago auction house.
Experts say the material may offer more insight about the White Sox, whose alleged notorious actions during the series against the Cincinnati Reds has become one of the darkest events in baseball history.
NFL
10-1 rarity coming Thursday
Perhaps it doesn’t carry the same weight as the recent New England-Indianapolis matchup, but when the Dallas Cowboys host the Green Bay Packers next Thursday, it will be only the second time since 1970 that two 10-1 teams have squared off.
It last occurred in 1990, when the New York Giants lost to the 49ers in San Francisco.
