Chicago White Sox Charles Comiskey was a notorious thrifty owner, who once allegedly held ace pitcher Eddie Cicotte out at the end of the season so he couldn't reach his 30-game win bonus in 1917. And finally, the players had enough.

The 1919 White Sox reached the World Series and were considered one of the glamour teams in baseball, but they all conspired to throw the series, which was eventually won by the Cincinnati Reds five games to three. Chick Gandil is credited with being the mastermind of the whole thing.

Included in the conspiracy was Shoeless Joe Jackson, whose involvement has been romanticized and led some to believe he didn't throw the series after he led all hitters with a .375 average.

But Jackson was one of eight players suspended for life after Cicotte and Jackson admitted to having knowledge of the fix in 1920. The other suspended players included Gandil, Happy Felsch, Fred McMullin, Swede Risberg, Buck Weaver and Lefty Williams. Weaver was a part of the initial conversations, but did not participate in the fix. He was still suspended.

Rose was one of the most popular players in the 1970s and 80s, playing for the Reds, Phillies and Expos. He became Major League Baseball's all-time hits leader in 1985, breaking Ty Cobb's record. Rose had been traded back to the Reds and served as a player manager when he broke the mark.

Rose was known for his hard-nosed style of play and earned the nickname "Charlie Hustle." No game was too small for Rose, not even the All-Star game, where he famously wrecked catcher Ray Fosse.

Rose was investigated in 1989 under the suspicion that he bet on baseball games while he was the manager of the Reds two years earlier. The Dowd report concluded Rose bet on 52 Reds games in 1987, though no evidence showed Rose bet against the Reds.

Rose voluntarily accepted a permanent place on baseball's ineligible list on August 24, 1989. But he refused to admit he bet on baseball, which has thwarted his reinstatement efforts. Rose finally admitted he bet on the Reds in 2004. He is still banned from baseball.

Metta World Peace was known as Ron Artest when he played for the Bulls and Pacers in the early part of his carer. Artest was known for his hard-nosed style of basketball and was selected the 2003-04 NBA defensive player of the year.

Artest is an emotional player and those emotions got the best out of him on November 19, 2004 when a brawl broke out at the Palace at Auburn Hills. The brawl involved many players, but it was Artest who was shown on SportsCenter engaging with a fan in the stands, almost on an endless loop on ESPN.

Artest was suspended for the rest of the season, which came out to 86 games, the longest NBA suspension for an on-court incident. Artest's suspension even surpassed the 68-games Latrell Sprewell received when he choked coach P.J. Carlesimo in 1997.

Artest changed his named to Metta World Peace in 2011 and is currently a member of the Los Angeles Lakers. He made many key shots and coach Phil Jackson called him the MVP of the 2010 NBA Finals.

McSorley was one of the most popular enforcers in NHL history, most notably serving as the personal protector for Wayne Gretzky during many years of their years together.

McSorely, as a member of the Bruins, hit Donald Brasher in the head with his stick, knocking him to ice. Brashear hit his head on the ice and suffered a grade 3 concussion.

McSorley was charged with assault and suspended by the NHL for the rest of the 1999-2000 season, 23 games including playoffs. McSorely was found guilty of assault with a weapon and given 18 months probation. The NHL extended his suspension for an entire year and McSorely never returned to the NHL.

McSorley's ban was the most severe until Todd Bertuzzi was suspended for the final 13 games of the 2004 NHL season for his attack on Steve Moore. The suspension even bleed over to International Ice Hockey Federation during the NHL lockout the following year.
