SUMMARY:(Rescheduled) Virtual Urban History Seminar | “Home Work: Gender\, Child Labor\, and Education in Urban America\, 1870–1930"

SUMMARY:Virtual Urban History Seminar | “The Unknown History of Baseball Gambling\, 1874–1950”
DESCRIPTION:Please note: This program was originally scheduled for March 13. It has been rescheduled to March 6 due to speaker availability.  \nThe Urban History Seminar series feature a scholarly presentation followed by lively discussion. Steven A. Riess\, Bernard Brommel Distinguished Research Professor Emeritus at Northeastern Illinois University\, presents “The Unknown History of Baseball Gambling\, 1874–1950.” \nBaseball\, the former national pastime\, once promoted itself as good\, clean fun that epitomized the best in our society. Recent historical research\, however\, has significantly uncovered the extent of gambling in baseball\, and its connection to organized crime and urban politics. \nRiess discusses his recent research exploring the origins of “fixing” professional baseball games in Chicago in the 1870s. He will also discuss his findings that the 1919 World Series betting scandal known as the Black Sox did not curtail baseball gambling\, especially on the World Series. \nThe Zoom session will open at 6:45 p.m. with the program starting at 7:00 p.m. and concluding by 8:15 p.m. RSVP is required. \nThis session is free of charge; we would greatly appreciate a donation to the Museum in any amount. A Zoom link will be provided after registration. \nThe Urban History Seminars have been generously underwritten by the Chicago History Museum since 1983.
