Gene Carney
/in /by adminGene Carney (1946-2009) wrote a semi-regular column for 15 years called “Notes From The Shadows of Cooperstown” from his home in Utica, New York. At first, Carney’s self-published “Notes” was an eclectic blend of essays, poetry, book reviews, and a little baseball history. Beginning in September 2002, it took on a singular focus: the Black Sox Scandal. Carney’s growing interest and fascination with “baseball’s darkest hour” led him to author a groundbreaking book, Burying the Black Sox: How Baseball’s Cover-up of the 1919 World Series Fix Almost Succeeded (Potomac Books, 2006), and he later became the founder and chairman of SABR’s Black Sox Scandal Research Committee. Until his untimely death in 2009, Carney’s research focused almost exclusively on the ill-fated events of October 1919, the cover-up that followed, and the legal proceedings which put Shoeless Joe Jackson, Eddie Cicotte, and the other Chicago White Sox players involved on the record.
