Chick Gandil

The hard-nosed first baseman generally regarded as the players' organizer of the fix. Gandil approached Boston bookmaker Sport Sullivan, recruited teammates, and acted as paymaster during the Series — handing out what little of the promised money actually arrived. He did not return to the White Sox in 1920. Indicted and tried with the others in 1921, he was acquitted by the jury and banned for life by Landis the following day. He never played another major-league game.
