	ABOUT THE NEW BOOK FROM MHS PRES
		"Swede" Risberg was white and a former Chicago White Sox player who had been outlawed from baseball for his involvement in the Black Sox Scandal of 1919.
		Risberg had his chance in professional baseball and ended up in the same status as Donaldson--playing the American game, the game each man loved, but not in the limelight at Wrigley Field.
		Risberg, by contrast, continued to play for lesser and lesser teams, and died in California as a man forever known for betraying the game of baseball by his own failings.

		"The Swede," he said, referring to the team's shortstop, Swede Risberg, "was a hard guy." Jackson was saying he was afraid that Risberg, a violent character, might kill him if he talked.
		During the trial of the conspirators he asked for protection from the shortstop, who must have been a better hitter with his fists than he was with a bat.
		Once they had begun to traffic with gamblers and other underworld elements, the possibility of a violent reprisal, not just from the Swede but from people entirely more sinister, was a constant threat.

		As a ringleader of the notorious Black Sox of 1919, the Swede helped contrive the greatest gambling scandal in baseball history.
		Horribly underpaid by their miserly owner, the Chicago White Sox of 1919 were one of the best, and least happy, teams ever assembled.
		During the ensuing trial Risberg’s teammate Shoeless Joe Jackson – who participated in the fix but never actually brought himself to play poorly – sought protection from Risberg, who threatened to kill Jackson if he talked.

		Shano Collins, who platooned with Nemo Leibold in right field in 1919, stepped in for Gandil at first base, rounding out the infield that included returning starters, Eddie Collins at second, Swede Risberg at shortstop, and Buck Weaver at third.
		The fiery Ray Schalk returned behind the plate, and the outfield remained in tact with Joe Jackson in left, Happy Felsch in center, and Leibold in right.
		As a result, Eddie Cicotte, Oscar "Happy" Felsch, Arnold "Chick" Gandil, Joe Jackson, Fred McMullin, Charles "Swede" Risberg, George "Buck" Weaver, and Claude "Lefty" Williams never played another inning of major league baseball.
