The Last Big Baseball Scandal-- Part 3: Cheap Old Comiskey

The story of the Black Sox has been told in movies like "Eight Men Out" and "Field of Dreams."

Today, part of the responsibility for the players taking the performance-enhancing drugs is their sky-high salaries and pressure to earn them. Rodriguez stands to lose $31 million.

With the White Sox, it was the other way around. Players back then had meager salaries and received almost slave-like treatment from owners, especially the White Sox owner Charles Comiskey. He once even refused to pay for cleaning his players' uniforms.

Shoeless Joe Jackson received $6,000 in 1919 (nearly $81,000 today). Lefty Williams, one of baseball's best pitchers, $2,625.
