		When Morrie Rath was hit by Eddie Cicotte's pitch to lead off the 1919 World Series, it was a prearranged signal to the gamblers that the Black Sox fix was on.
		Rath reappeared with the Reds for their World Championship 1919 season after spending 1918 in the Navy.
		Rath finished his ML career by leading NL second basemen in fielding in 1920, but had only 36 walks to supplement his.267 BA, ending his usefulness as a leadoff batter.

		After walking leadoff man Morrie Rath, it appeared as if the 29-game winner would work his way out of peril, when he fanned first baseman Jake Daubert and third baseman Heinie Groh.
		Ring followed with a walk, but was erased at second base, when Rath bounced one back to Cicotte, who whirled and threw to Collins, who, in turn, fired a strike to Gandil for the double play.
		The Reds added one more tally in the seventh on back-to-back one-baggers by Rath and Daubert and a ground out by Groh, then helped Ring shut down the White Sox the rest of the way as he allowed single runners in the seventh, eighth and ninth, but no runs.

	The Nats Blog: More fun Cristian Guzman stats!!
		There have been two players in MLB history that had over 550 at bats and 20 or fewer RBI (although Luis Castillo has that crazy season where he batted.334 leadoff, a ridiculous hitting game streak and only had 17 RBIs--but he played in 136 games and didn't have 550+ at bats, although admittedly was close).
		Those two players were Richie Ashburn (20) in 1959 and Morrie Rath (19) in 1912.
		Here's the kicker: Ashburn scored 86 runs in his season and Rath scored 104 times in his.

	SITT - Shoeless Joe Jackson
		And for that, Joseph Jefferson Jackson was banned for life from the game that was essentially his life.
		But before Arnold Rothstein and the cadres of Charlie Comiskey's lawyers and Eddie Cicotte drilling Morrie Rath in the back with a fastball and the dirty stack of cash that would later ruin his life, Joe Jackson was simply a baseball player, and a great one at that.
		Playing the game he loved in the place he loved made Jackson loathe ever separating the two. However, when his semi-pro career in Greenville really started to take off, the outside world inevitably came calling.

	Notes from the Shadows of Cooperstown
		Secondbaseman Morrie Rath, a.264 hitter who drew 64 walks in about 600 plate appearances during the season, stood in.
		I believe he was flipping a coin, leaving it to fate: if Morris swings and connects, the fix is off, and Eddie goes on to win three games (carefully returning the cash, lest his fingers be broken.)
		That was not, of course, the Eddie Cicotte who threw the second pitch, which nailed poor Morrie Rath square in the back.

		When Cincinnati's Morrie Rath was indeed hit betwen the shoulders, the pact was sealed, and a flood of money was promptly wagered on the Reds.
		The first two games were played at Crosley Field, and both were won by the Reds.

		The novelistic technique in what is purported to be non-fiction includes the frequent placing of words in people's mouths, words the author cannot know were ever spoken.
		Edmund Morris was justifiably criticized for this in "Dutch: A Memoir of Ronald Reagan."
		Amateur psychological analysis of long-dead historical figures, verbal anachronisms (superstar as merely one example), and lack of comment on the prejudices of the day make for reader distraction.

		If little Morrie Rath of the Reds had only swung and put that first pitch in play, there would have been no signal -- or no theory about a signal.
		Ed Cicotte laid that first pitch down the middle, telling every one of you here today that he could not, cannot be bought.
		My client said that he did it on purpose, and I believe he did.
