Book Reviews of Eight Men Out: The Black Sox and the 1919 World Series
Book Review: It Does Not Get Much Worse Than This!
Summary: 1 Stars
Although the facts are somewhat basically correct, I strongly suspect that Asinof embellished the truth more than once to please his own sense of history on this subject. Historically speaking, the facts are out in the open and he needn't really have fictionalized them so much. Asinof must have been telling the same stories over and over through the years, with changes to sensationalize, and somehow this has become embedded into his mind as the absolute truth. Nothing could be further from his truth. This book, and the movie are a complete waste of time. Buying this book would do little more than feed creedence to this pack of mistruths. The eight deserved a much better fate than this. It does not get much worse than this. Anthony DeMedeiros, Toronto, Ontario.
