As fans across America watched the 2024 World Series, they had no idea they might be witnessing what would become one of the most controversial events in sports history—a scandal possibly orchestrated by powerful figures with connections as old as baseball itself. Similar to the 1919 Black Sox Scandal, rumors have surfaced that the Yankees deliberately threw the championship, orchestrated by shadowy forces for massive gambling profits.
The Echoes of 1919
The 1919 Black Sox Scandal remains one of the darkest chapters in baseball history. Eight Chicago White Sox players, including the iconic “Shoeless” Joe Jackson, were accused of intentionally losing the World Series against the Cincinnati Reds in exchange for money from gamblers. The scandal rocked the nation, leading to lifetime bans for the players and permanently tarnishing the team’s legacy.
Now, more than a century later, the specter of game-fixing seems to have returned, but this time, the alleged culprits are none other than the New York Yankees—a team with more championships than any other franchise and a reputation as America’s baseball powerhouse. This modern scandal is rumored to involve a vast web of influences, from gambling syndicates to clandestine groups with their own stakes in the sport.
The writing is on the wall, and it appears the Yanks “dogged” it big time, to throw the 2024 World Series.
A Dodgers outfielder even mocked us all when Kike Hernandez roasted East Coast rapper Fat Joe over his sluggish World Series song performance, and in doing so looks to have blatantly exposed the rigged 2024 World Series:
“We didn’t need to play, we already won it!”
Hernandez flashes the elite’s secret “satanic” hand sign as part of the mockery.
A Secret Society Behind the Curtain?
Conspiracy theorists have long speculated that powerful organizations such as the Freemasons have influenced American culture and industries, including sports. After all, baseball’s early history involves figures rumored to be Freemasons, and some speculate that these connections have influenced everything from rule changes to player selections. Now, some allege that the 2024 Yankees scandal has roots in this same clandestine world, suggesting that powerful, unseen hands may have orchestrated the Yankees’ fall for financial gain.
In this version of events, high-stakes gamblers and secretive organizations are said to have manipulated key players and coaches. A hypothetical “insider” claimed that the Freemasons, allegedly tied to several influential figures in the game, encouraged select Yankees players to underperform, thus ensuring that bets placed on the underdog would yield massive payouts. If true, this would mark one of the most audacious betrayals of the sport’s integrity in modern times.
How the Alleged Scheme Unfolded
Based on my investigative work, I have unraveled the alleged game-fixing scheme that was subtle enough to avoid immediate detection. Key players reportedly made slight, yet costly fielding errors at pivotal moments—striking out when they’d normally excel, missing routine plays, and allowing the opposing team to seize the advantage. Each move was supposedly orchestrated to maintain an illusion of a fair game, all while ensuring a favorable outcome for those in on the scheme. More to the point, the Yankees had leads in both games 1 and 5 but still somehow choked unlike any team in the history of the World Series. This is when I first spotted the fix was on, as soon as Freddie Freeman was thrown the home run pitch the perfectly mimicked the legendary 1988 Kirk Gibson homer in the last full season World Series win for the Dodgers.
This is the mark of the beast, for it was 36 years (3 – 6’s 666) ago that Gibby hit this epic homer, that I have now learned he was tipped off as to the pitch he was going to get ahead of that memorable at bat. What was the pitch count itself at the moment Freeman miraculously saved the day? 88.
Several fans and analysts noticed other peculiar performances from top Yankees players during the series. The bone head move not to stop slugger Giancarlo Stanton from lumbering around third like a dying horse only to be gunned down at home.
The team’s star pitchers, known for their dominance, were reportedly pulled under questionable circumstances, or struggled with pitches they would typically have mastered.
Like in the Stanton baserunning blunder, even the coaching staff made ‘questionable’ calls, raising eyebrows about strategic decisions that seemed more advantageous to the opponent than to the Yankees.
The Yanks ace Gerrit Cole even failed to cover first base bag on a routine ground ball hit to Anthony Rizzo. There is no doubt in my mind that like Eddie Cicotte of the Black Sox scandal, Cole, along with the team’s other major star Judge were forced to take part in the rigged World Series, much like Shoeless Joe Jackson, who would later get banned from MLB for life, despite claiming he did not take part in the fix and instead delivered one of the best world series hitting performances ever. Cole today has announced he is opting out of his Yankees contract, that is reportedly worth $36 million for the final year of the deal.
This is the mark of the beast, once again, in your face.
Uncovering the Alleged Evidence
As investigators delve into these claims, they are looking for paper trails, suspicious betting patterns, and anomalies in game footage. If financial records connect players or staff to any unusual financial activity, it could prove to be the smoking gun in the secret plot.
In addition, law enforcement agencies are now reportedly probing offshore betting operations, examining whether an abnormally high volume of bets was placed against the Yankees. This investigation might uncover connections to gambling syndicates with ties to powerful secret societies.
Fallout and Reaction
The mere suggestion of a scandal involving the Yankees—a team synonymous with American baseball—has triggered a media frenzy. Fans, already disillusioned by the rise of high-stakes betting in sports, are questioning the integrity of the game. Many already believe these allegations have merit. So now it will be up to the commissioner of baseball to open an investigation. Just like the game banned the likes of Shoeless Joe and Pete Rose for gambling involvement, the same should go for any players on both sides of the baseball who ‘knowingly’ took part in the rigged series.
Yet, if proven true, the consequences would be monumental. Major League Baseball (MLB) would face pressure to implement stricter regulations around player behavior, betting practices, and internal oversight. The league could also see a significant loss of fan trust, akin to what the Black Sox scandal did to baseball in the 1920s.
“I think it would be fair to say the Black Sox scandal was not a unique event,” baseball historian Steve Steinberg told Brian Blickenstaff of Vice Sports. It’s hard to say how often it might have happened that a team threw a game or series for money, he said, but based on his knowledge of baseball’s past, he believes it certainly wasn’t confined to one series.
Conclusion
While the alleged 2024 Yankees scandal continues to unfold, it’s a reminder that even the most celebrated institutions aren’t immune to corruption. The Yankees, representing a beacon of American sports, could face the most scrutinized investigation since the Black Sox scandal if these rumors gain traction. As the truth unfolds, baseball fans around the world are left wondering if this generation will witness a scandal that forever reshapes America’s pastime.
