Eddie Cicotte

Eddie Cicotte was a talented Major League Baseball pitcher known for his success with the Chicago White Sox in the early 20th century. His career is most notably marked by his involvement in the 1919 Black Sox Scandal, where he and other players were accused of intentionally losing games to gamblers. Cicotte was a key figure in this event, which undermined the integrity of the sport and led to lifelong bans from professional baseball. Despite his skills on the mound, his legacy is largely defined by this controversial episode.
