The 1920 Chicago White Sox season was a season in American baseball. The team was in contention to defend their American League pennant going into the final week of the season. However, news of the Black Sox Scandal became public, and with seven of their players suspended, the team finished two games behind the Cleveland Indians. The team would not finish in the first division again until 1936.[1]
