It seems so simple, so pure. But behind the green grass and iconic heroes, professional baseball has always been driven by greed, ambition, a thirst for fame, a lust for power, and a ceaseless conflict of motives that go far beyond winning and losing. Peel back the veneer with The Deadball Files.
This critically acclaimed series features present-day mysteries and legal dramas grounded in events and personalities from the early days of baseball.
Gambling. Cheating. Drug abuse. Outrageous rhetoric. Drunken rioting. Wife-swapping. Racism. Collusion. Those are just some of the baseball scandals we know about. But perhaps there are still more that have never made it into public view - maybe even the worst ones of all. The professional game is a highly profitable enterprise, and protecting its reputation could be critical to its success.
What if there were a secret society of Baseball elders who decided to preserve the sanctity of The Game they by creating a repository where they could bury forever its most explosive secrets? What if these GameKeepers formed an underground organization to guard any evidence of these dangerous scandals, a mysterious organization with a failsafe security structure, an inviolable oath of silence for its members, and an ironclad hierarchy of succession to carry forward across the generations? What if it all worked perfectly for nearly a century. Until it didn't. Suddenly new questions arise: Who would control these secrets, and to what end? Would The Game itself survive?
Discover the history as you unravel the mystery.
