I think this is an interesting piece of trivia:
Which World Series (year and teams please) was notorious for having "monster crowds," so much so that "18,801 with as many as 10,000 fans were reported to have been turned away. Gate receipts from the eight games totaled just over $100,000 with the winning
ABC team players taking home $1,182 each while the losers received even more - $1,316.25 - thanks to team owner
Mr. Stone (I took out the real name), who contributed his entire share into the pool.
It was the only time in World Series history that the losers took home more than the winners."
Hint: This World Series was a best-of-9 series...
Second Hint: Best-of-9 series were utilized only through the years of 1903-04, and then 1919-21.
Yes...I'm bored
