It takes place in the years:
We know this because it primarily depicts the real-world baseball games of the 1919 World Series, which were held from October 1st, 1919 AD to October 9th, 1919 AD. So it is probably October of 1919 AD at the beginning.
1919 AD - 1921 AD
We know this because it primarily depicts the real-world baseball games of the 1919 World Series, which were held from October 1st, 1919 AD to October 9th, 1919 AD. So it is probably October of 1919 AD at the beginning.
Then, the plot continues to the court case resulting from the scandal about the games. The court case concluded on July 28th, 1921 AD in the real world. So presumably it is July of 1921 AD at the end of the main action.
Additionally, there is an epilogue in 1925 AD .
