Eight Men Out (1988)
Buck Weaver en Hap Felsch zijn twee idealistische jonge spelers van de Chicago White Sox, een succesvol honkbalteam dat in handen is van de gierige Charles Comiskey. Hij betaald zijn spelers slecht en behandelt ze zonder enig respect. En dat gaat niet onopgemerkt voorbij aan de gokkers en oplichters die veel kunnen verdienen aan de weddenschappen rond de World Series. Eén voor één weten ze de gedemoraliseerde spelers van Comiskey’s team over te halen om voor een aardig geldbedrag de World Series weg te geven. Maar als de White Sox verslagen worden, ruikt de pers onraad en er openbaart zich een nationaal schandaal waarbij de favoriete Amerikaanse vrijetijdsbesteding voor altijd zijn onschuld verliest.
