Eliot Asinof's Eight Men Out, published in 1963, is the first comprehensive book about the Black Sox Scandal.

"Sometimes, when you feel right, there's a groove there, and the bat just eases into it and meets that ball. When the bat meets that ball and you feel that ball just give, you know it's going to go a long way. Damn, if you don't feel like you're going to live forever."
