The jury at the back wages trial was unimpressed by his claims of having played to win
He hit .375 in the 1919 World Series with a homerun, two doubles and 6 RBI. These numbers were actually superior to his performance in the 1917 World Series - which the White Sox won, as you know - when he hit .304 with no extra base hits and no RBI. If he truly wanted to lose the World Series, he sure didn't play like it.
