^ Money in Baseball in 1919 was like the money you would make at McDonalds today. No, these guys were not Rich like athletes today. They worked to supplement their incomes, baseball was not a living. These guys were going to make more by throwing the world series than they made the entire season playing baseball. I'm not justifying what they did, but you don't have an accurate view of what money they were making playing baseball at the turn of the century.
