Default Shoeless Joe in the Hall?

Posted By: Shawn Chambers

I'm not sure how you got started with Ty Cobb, but your tongue-in-cheek references to other HOF'ers only reinforces that Jackson should be in.

He was NOT found guilty by anyone except one crusty old man. The entire Black Sox team played a full season AFTER the fact. The public obviously could care less. Not much faith undermined if you ask me...

Again, he technically broke no RULE because he was acquitted. Landis couldn't ban him for legal reasons so, it obviously DID come down to a question of morality and character he chose to focus on and if that is the argument then he is a SHOE in (pardon the pun).
