Conclusion

The Black Sox scandal played a major role in exposing deeper divisions in American Culture. "The scandal became a symbol of the rising post-war tensions over labor relations, race, ethnicity, and nationalism in America. It also became a vehicle for circumscribing the meanings of Americanism"Bachin, 2003).  The Black Sox Scandal was one of the darkest moments in Baseball History and caused Americans to lose faith in the sport they loved, the sport that was a symbol of American life.
