Description

Charles Albert "The Old Roman" Comiskey was a larger-than-life figure--a man who had precision in his speech and who could work a room with handshakes and smiles. While he has been vilified in film as a rotund cheapskate and the driving force, albeit unknowingly, behind the actions of the 1919 White Sox, who threw the World Series (nicknamed the "Black Sox" scandal), that statement is far from the truth.

Author Biography:

Tim Hornbaker is a lifelong sports historian and enthusiast who attended his first baseball game at the old Comiskey Park in 1981. Turning the Black Sox White is his third nonfiction title, which also includes Legends of Pro Wrestling. He continues to research sports history and lives in South Florida with his wife, Jodi. Bob Hoie is a baseball historian and member of SABR (Society for American Baseball Research). He has appeared in two documentaries on the Black Sox produced by ESPN (2001, 2005), and another by the MLB Network (2010). His article “1919 Baseball Salaries and the Mythically Underpaid Chicago White Sox” was a finalist for the 2013 SABR Analytics Research Award, and was the third person to ever win SABR’s Bob Davids Award for meritorious service (1987). Hoie resides in San Marino, California.
