'Eight Men Out is a 1988 American period sports drama film based on Eliot Asinof's 1963 book Eight Men Out: The Black Sox and the 1919 World Series. It was written and directed by John Sayles. The film is a dramatization of Major League #Baseball's Black Sox Scandal in which eight members of the Chicago White Sox conspired with #gamblers to lose the 1919 World Series. Most of the movie was filmed at Bush Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana.'

@olliethewobbly I don't know how it was for a kid, but it's a good movie. Definitely not a feel-good, baseball movie.
