The Titanic was the unsinkable ship, so they
said. On April 14, 1912 enormous icebergs were
sighted in the direct path of the Titanic, but little
did they know one of the icebergs was going to kill
the majority of them. By 11:40 p.m. the iceberg
had then done the damage, by scraping the edge.
The Titanic's bow was under at 2:17am. Seeing
chaos all over and panicked faces was a tragedy its
self. At 3:00 am the Titanic had totally vanished. Facts about the Titanic

The 1919 World Series resulted in the
most famous scandal in baseball
history. Eight players from the Chicago
White Sox (later nicknamed the Black
Sox) were accused of throwing the
series against the Cincinnati Reds.
Details of the scandal and the extent to
which each man was involved have
always been unclear. Despite being
acquitted of criminal charges, the
players were banned from professional
baseball for life.
No club paid better in 1919, but few were paid so poorly. Many knowledgeable
observers believe that it was the owner’s stinginess that is largely to blame for the
Black Sox scandal: if Comiskey had not grossly underpaid his players and treated
them so unfairly, they would never have agreed to throw the Series. Comiskey was
able to get away with paying low salaries because of the "reserve clause" in players'
contracts. This clause prevented players from changing teams without the permission
of the owners. Without a union, the players had no bargaining power.
