THIS IS MY STORY OF THE BLACK SOX SERIES
Arnold (Chick) Gandil
September 17, 1956
The ringleader of the infamous plot, the first baseman of the team which exploded baseball's dirty business with the game's worst scandal, breaks his silence to speak for the first time
Aside from
embarrassment and personal qualms I have never suffered any hardship because of
the Black Sox incident. The doors to jobs have never been closed to me. We have
lived quietly away from the news, and I have attended only half a dozen ball
games—all minor league—during the past 37 years.
For a good many
years, I held a deep resentment against Cicotte for his initial confession. I
felt I would never forgive the guy, but I think I have by now. Still, I don't
believe we would have ever been caught if he hadn't gabbed.
