What's more American than baseball? Well as this film by John Sayles shows, the answers to that question may include greed and corruption. At a time when baseball players were workingmen and not multi-millionaires, the promise of financial gain was a proposition too tempting to pass up. Based on the events surrounding the Chicago White Sox Scandal of 1919, this film throws us a curve as we learn how eight men can be out and why we should never bet on the sanctity of the our national pastime.

A treat for baseball fans but might bore others.
