About this product

Product Information

Unlike other nostalgic baseball films (THE NATURAL, FIELD OF DREAMS), director John Sayles's EIGHT MEN OUT explores one of the darkest moments in the history of the sport--1919's infamous Black Sox scandal, when eight players on the heavily favored Chicago White Sox agreed to throw the World Series. Based on Eliot Asinof's 1963 book of the same name, the film investigates why the players--including the great Shoeless Joe Jackson, who many believe belongs in the Hall of Fame--would purposely lose the most important game of their lives. Set in the same time period as Sayles's MATEWAN, EIGHT MEN OUT shows how money and exploitative labor conditions destroy the purity of the game. Even though the film has no star parts and ends on a bleak note, EIGHT MEN OUT was the second Sayles film to receive financing from a major studio. Studs Terkel appears as the famous journalist Hugh Fullerton, who exposes the scandal, while Asinof and Sayles also have small roles.

A documentary on the 1919 series is better.
Great cast,but mediocre film making. Historically relevant to baseball, but ponderous story telling. There was no primary antagonist or hero.

Eight Men Out (DVD, 2001)
A very good movie about the tragic events surrounding the scandalous fixing of the 1919 World Series. Eight players from the heavily-favored Chicago White Sox baseball team were charged with numerous counts of fraud and conspiracy to defraud for their intentional efforts to lose the series. The man credited with the plan to fix the series was Arnold Rothstein, of New York City. The exact amount of money that they were paid for doing so is not known because it is not certain just how many times the fraud was sold. The Rothstein deal was reported to be for $80,000-$100,000. In addition to the deal with Rothstein, there were also other deals rumored to have been made with bookmakers in St. Louis, Detroit, Boston, and Kansas City, as well as Chicago. I once read that the total could have been ... A very good movie about the tragic events surrounding the scandalous fixing of the 1919 World Series.

The exact amount of money that they were paid for doing so is not known because it is not certain just how many times the fraud was sold. The Rothstein deal was reported to be for $80,000-$100,000. In addition to the deal with Rothstein, there were also other deals rumored to have been made with bookmakers in St. Louis, Detroit, Boston, and Kansas City, as well as Chicago. I once read that the total could have been as high as $6-8M. All were found "Not Guilty", mainly due to the vilification of team owners and the "questionable" wording of the charging of the jury by the trial judge. They were all subsequently banned for life by Major League Baseball. There has always been a lot of controversy surrounding the suspension of Shoeless Joe Jackson, but in his own words he never denied knowing about the "fix" or taking $5000 cash. There is no indication that he intentionally did anything to lose, although he had said that "he could have played harder". Many people blame the cheating on the actions of the team owners. The salaries paid to the players was considered too low. Jackson reportedly made a low salary, and the teams had it to where if you refused their offer, you couldn't play anywhere. I don't know how much he made, but I do know that he had made $10,000 in 1911. At this time, an executive level salary was only about $200 a month. However, there is evidence that a $10,000 bonus that was owed to a pitcher for winning thirty games was withheld and he was benched after winning twenty-nine. These kinds of unfair labor practices were apparently common at this time, as well as little things like just cleaning uniforms. Often player's uniforms were so dirty that the nickname "Chicago Black Sox" was hung on the team. Regardless of who did what, or for how much, the bottom line is that they were guilty, and they got caught. Joe Jackson was truly one of baseball's best ever, but so was Pete Rose.

Black Sox Scandal On Big Screen
An excellent cast does the job in this scandal movie about the White Sox who threw the World Series back in the early 1900's. The only gripe I have about the movie is that if you see this movie without reading the book, some things are kind of unclear, like when the you see one of the fixers with a broken nose, you have no idea why he's injured. In the book it goes on to tell you that it was because the story was in the newspaper, and he was exposed for his part in fixing the World Series, then a fan went ahead and punched him in the nose. There are a few other similar instances. If they weren't going to elaborate on things like this, then why put them in the movie? If it weren't for these few small things, it would be up there with the greatest sports movies of all time. Too bad ...

watching 8 Men Out~~~
I don't like baseball. I never have, but that doesn't mean that I don't like baseball movies. Here's one I remeber really wanting to see before it came out. It intrigued me, How and why did a baseball team throw the Worlds Series? This is one of those investigative movies that tries to compete with All The Presidents Men but lands in the minor leagues (triple AAA but still minor league) A great ensemble cast almost pushes this into Major League territory but falls a little flat. Where other baseball movies seem dated this one is more relevant now than ever. Imagine in this steriod era if a commissioner came down as hard today as he did during the Black Sox scandel there wouldn't ever be steriods if HE did. Great movie, Great cast just not a classsic, but almost.I don't like baseball. I never have, but that doesn't mean that I don't like baseball movies.
