Heinie made his debut with the New York Giants in 1912 playing for John McGraw and with Christy Mathewson . But he spent his most productive years with the Cincinnati Reds , including the 1919 team that defeated the Chicago White Sox in the World Series. After the Chicago players were discredited as having fixed the World Series, Groh was famously quoted as saying "I think we'd have beaten them either way." Groh later returned to the Giants, helping them to three consecutive World Series appearances, including 1922 when they defeated Babe Ruth and the New York Yankees . Groh became a minor league manager as well as a scout after retiring as a player. EXTERNAL LINKS |
