Acht Mann und ein Skandal (1988)
Chicago 1919 – Die Spieler des Baseball-Spitzenteams „Chicago White Sox“ sind ärgerlich über die schlechte Bezahlung durch Club-Chef Comiskey. Wetthaie entdecken die Schwachstelle im Team und bestechen einige Spieler, um den Ausgang der Meisterschaft zu beeinflussen. Die Mannschaft verliert geplant, doch als das Geld nicht fließt, wie zugesagt, siegen die „White Sox“ wieder. Die erzürnte Unterwelt droht mit massiver Gewalt und obwohl sich nicht alle Spieler davon beeindrucken lassen, unterliegen die „White Sox“ im Entscheidungsspiel. Die Presse deckt den Skandal auf, und die Spieler werden letztendlich lebenslänglich gesperrt.
