It was here at the Boston Hotel Buckminster
on September 18, 1919, in one of the hotel's guest
rooms that the Chicago White Sox first baseman
Chick Gandil and bookmaker-gambler
Joseph "Sport" Sullivan hatched what would
become one of the most infamous crimes
in American history: the fixing of the
1919 World Series, now referred to as
The Black Sox Scandal
