Buck Weaver and Hap Felsch are young idealistic players on the Chicago White Sox, a pennant-winning team owned by Charles Comiskey - a penny-pinching, hands-on manager who underpays his players and treats them with disdain. And when gamblers and hustlers discover that Comiskey's demoralized players are ripe for a money-making scheme, one by one the team members agree to throw the World Series. But when the White Sox are defeated, a couple of sports writers smell a fix and a national scandal explodes, ripping the cover off America's favorite pastime.
Editor's Verdict
"Eight Men Out is a historical sports drama focused entirely on the 1919 Black Sox Scandal. There are no references to the Christmas season, themes, or iconography that meet any of the criteria for qualification as a Christmas movie."
