The most brilliant and accurate portrayal of any sports scandal, some consider spot on, is the 1988 film "Eight Men Out." This tells the story of the 1919 Black Sox to a tee. One thing: they were called the Black Sox because of their dirty socks, not because of the scandal. Komiskey, the cheap bastard, even had his players do their own laundry. Some had to wear word, dirty socks multiple days in a row.

Well I mean if he died for something so trivial, I would think, indeed, he is a sucker.

Oh look a stein
@ChopperOADF Says:
Correct me if I’m wrong, but wasn’t Paul Kelly running organized crime as a business before Rothstein?

Mr Rothstein love to do stuff out of class

A Jew money-lender.? How rare
@TheRapidDescent Says:
Look at Shoeless Joe Jackson's numbers in the 1919 world series and its obvious that he didnt throw the games.
@BEATNIKMACHINE Says:
What happened to his wealth after he died ?

He was an early participant of organized crime in America, but all this nonsense about being a founder is silly nonsense

"Mr. Doyle, why am I talking to you?"
"Ehh...because you called me?"
"Yes, but why am I calling you? Why is this even occurring?"
@alanbrooks2237 Says:
Many learned about the 1919 ‘Black Sox’ game from ‘The Godfather’. Michael visits Hyman Roth, who tells him that he had liked baseball “ever since Arnold Rothstein fixed” the 1919 match.
@taylorboyd865 Says:
Has he done one on Tammany hall
@kemisau5050 Says:
I reckon lucky luciano and meya lansky took him out
@MulToyVerse Says:
Odd that a Jewish group would have nazi in its name.
@joshuasill1141 Says:
I remember hearing this tidbit about the 1919 Black Sox: many of the ball players came from Southern farms and barely had any type of education. Most couldn't read or write. Some of the smarter players asked for the money to through the Series up front however the rest were told they'd be paid after the Series. The ones who waited never saw a dime. I'm not sure if Joe Jackson had really agreed to the scandal or if you was just guilty by association. He had decent stats with a .375 batting average, .455 slugging percentage, and a .388 on base percentage, scoring 5 runs, and knocking in 6 RBIs. He also a 100% fielding percentage, 16 put outs, and 1 assist. It was suggested, suggested mind you, that there were some balls that he might have had a chance to catch but didn't "run" hard enough to get them or that some of his throws may have been off target, kind of akin to points shaving in basketball. But all that, if true, could have been over compensating for the other players who were throwing the games, or sometimes you just have a bad throw, a sprain or tired legs, or a bad day.

When he cheated he expected to be paid. When he lost he refused to pay. Bye bye.

Whenever I try and gamble or bet the guys usually just take me for all I’m worth so I’ve grown into a shrewd businessman.
@WNYfellow Says:
Who is the actor who portrays Rothstein? This information is not given here - nor is it available on IMDB.
@briandoss9232 Says:
Well. One way to go.
@andrewbrown6522 Says:
In reality anybody that can give the gov a run for their money is organized crime.
Ive come to realize that government mismanagment is probably the gangs biggest recruiting agent.

it funny it all started with a Jewish guy and all of a sudden you had to be Italian to be made
@trukeesey8715 Says:
The star called "satan's head" began in NYC's latitude when the Sephardim arrived, and reached the exact minute the year of incorporation. Any wonder, then, why the chosen of satan had ruling there?

@devellwinston9756 Says:
Is there any great books I can read about Arnold Rothstein?
@jpw6984 Says:
So turns out William Shea was absolutely correct in his assumption

@alkirk6 Says:
I've heard Rumours that Arnold Rothstein is even atleast partially the inspiration for Red from The Black List
@janeallgood9833 Says:
even though it was based on other guys, I'm guessing his namesake was inspired for Casino.
@FearlessP4P1 Says:
I love how William shea was vindicated about rothstein
@tuckerbugeater Says:
I always thought the most important mobsters were Italian. I wonder why Hollywood made it appear that way.

@dwightlove3704 Says:
Was Arnold the Father of MONEY LAUNDERING
@fourscinmcgee3703 Says:
Now this is what I’ve been told by family members over the years and a weird saying my great uncle had, but I’m almost certain in some way my great uncle was on his payroll for bootlegging. He got busted once and within the hour of being arrested was released. He always said “it was the ol benefactor” and said nothing more than that. Plus he lived in Maryland at the time so close enough to New York to be in on it. Again, could be wrong but given he was the main player in bootlegging in the area and my great uncle got instead of a probable year in prison, under an hour of irritation I think there’s some truth to it.
