Horace Fogel Newsbeat
Tuesday, November 27, 2012
100 years ago today, the Horace Fogel saga comes to a conclusion. San Francisco Call, November 27, 1912: Horace Fogel, president of the Philadelphia National league baseball club, tendered his resignation to the National league magnates in session here this afternoon. He took this action suddenly and without explanation…
New York Evening World, November 27, 1912: The National League magnates, in session at the Waldorf-Astoria this afternoon, found Horace Fogel, President of the Philadelphia National League Club, guilty on five of the seven charges preferred against him by President Thomas J. Lynch. Fogel was tried for making accusations that last season’s race for the pennant had been fixed for the Giants to win.
...
The decision means that Fogel will be barred from organized baseball and from all baseball grounds over which the National Commission has control.
He fought authority, authority always wins.
