 Prior to the 1919 World Series between the White Sox and the Cincinnati Reds, Fullerton received a tip from professional gamblers that the Cincinnati team was a lock to win.The scene immortalized in the 1988 film "Eight Men Out" indicated that Fullerton (portrayed by Studs Terkel) watched the series with the legendary Ring Lardner (played by director John Sayles) and together they counted suspicious plays.In actuality, Fullerton did this with former pitching great Christy Mathewson.
