The Philadelphia Phillies' 1924 season
saw the Phillies climb out of last place and into seventh and home
attendance improving to over 299,000. Cy Williams led the team in home runs with
24.
Offseason
Regular
season
On August 21, 1924, the Phillies were traveling from games in St.
Louis to Cincinnati when the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
train on which they were traveling turned over in the train yards
in Mitchell,
Indiana. Phillies players and personnel were unharmed but the
engineer and fireman were killed in the accident.[2]
In the season's final series against the New York Giants at the
Polo Grounds,
Phillies shortstop Heinie Sand was offered $500 by Giants
outfielder Jimmy O'Connell to throw the games. The
Giants were battling for the pennant with the Brooklyn
Dodgers. Sand rejected the bribe and reported it to Phillies
manager Art
Fletcher. It eventually led to the life-time suspension of
O'Connell and Giants coach Crazy Dolan by
Commissioner Landis, although future-Hall of
Famers Frankie
Frisch, George Kelly, and Ross Youngs were also
implicated.[3]
