President Cleveland To get the glove you needed to collect all the President cards. The stakes were high because everybody needed the President Cleveland card. People did not have a lot of money because it was the Great Depression time. Every time there was work available the kids took it so they could get another pack of cards and they could only hope for President Cleveland. I don't think it is fair because the company probably made a lot of some card and a little of others. Armand needs the

This Little League baseball scandal took place in 2001, a little before the devastating day of the Twin Towers’ attack.

This was a major upset and before the first pitch there had been talk of a fixed game. The game was actually fixed so that the Reds would win the game.

The Black Socks Black Socks played against the Cincinnati Reds in 1919. Eight men agreed to throw the series to get paid $10,000. My opinion on that is.

Now do I think that it was right for them to ban the White/Black Socks from baseball? Well I mean it depends on how you look at the situation. I guess to some extent it was wrong but on the other hand, it was right. Why

Murphy the goat, perhaps the most loathed living thing in baseball history, next to Steve Bartman. When the Cubs lost their 2003 postseason game against the Marlins, preventing them for entering the World Series, many Cubs fans felt like their world came to an end, though for Mr. Bartman, his world literally did, if only for a moment.
