July 19, 1921: The prosecution begins its case in the 1919 Black Sox World Series.

The prosecution says Eddie Cicotte met former White Sox pitcher Bill Burns in New York before the Sox won the pennant. Burns asked Cicotte if the series could be fixed. Cicotte answered, "If there is a chance I will let you know." Cicotte told Burns that fixing the series would cost about $100,000 [$1,234,381.69   USD 2008], the prosecution says.
