Default Shoeless Joe in the Hall?

Posted By: Bob Pomilla

Doing a quick search, it seems Chase was never officially banned, but was blacklisted.

"Second, although much is learned about Hal Chase's life and times, I came away feeling that while I knew a great deal more about Hal Chase, I had no greater understanding of the Teflon quality that allowed him to slip through the myriad charges against him. I am still puzzled by the fact that he escaped the "justice" being dispensed by Judge Landis and was never banned from the game for life even though he was blacklisted. To suggest that Landis concluded it wasn't worth the trouble to ban Chase seems out of character for the mercurial Commissioner and showman of the bench."
