Buck Weaver (baseball) 3

I'm giving him a three only because he wasn't the player who initially decide to throw the games.

Buck Weaver (baseball) 2

Of the eight players banned for life from baseball for conspiring to fix the 1919 Series, Weaver is the only one who can legitimately be termed a victim. While he did meet (at least once) with the conspirators, he rejected their overtures. Not only is there no evidence of him participating in throwing the games, there is significant evidence to the contrary. Further, he was never accused of doing so, either by the other seven players, or by the courts, or by Commissioner Landis in ruling him ineligible. Weaver's crime was not ratting out his team-mates, and while I think that was a significant error in judgement, it did not merit lifetime suspension.
