Every sports scandal brings with it a loss of innocence. From the Black Sox scandal of the 1919 World Series, to the performance enhancing drug controversies of the modern age, none matches the spectacle of the Great Fountain Pen Debacle of 1954.
Relive this dark chapter in High School athletics, as we go behind the scenes, into the locker room, then to the coach's office, then back to the locker room, then to the soda shop, then back to the locker room...alright, they got their money's worth out of the locker room set, but the point is, a potential theft is witnessed. The young teammates resolve to spend countless hours getting to the bottom of the controversy. They could have figured it out in five minutes if they just asked a couple of simple questions, but they were that committed.
This is a VOD short from Toast and Rice.
