a nice read on Jackson.
http://roadsidephotos.sabr.org/baseball/shoelessjoe.htm From the article: Myth: "Whereas the evidence shows that Jackson did not deliberately misplay during the 1919 World Series in an attempt to make his team lose the World Series." The evidence is ambiguous at best. On the one hand, Jackson always swore that he had played to win, and his .375 batting average led both teams. On the other, Jackson hit .250 with one run scored and no RBI in the four thrown games, while batting .500 with four runs and six RBI in the other four. In each of the first two games, both of which were thrown, Jackson allowed a two-out, two-run triple to left field. And even if the evidence that Jackson actually threw the Series is equivocal, the evidence that he was paid to do so is overwhelming. |

If hitting .375 with 12 hits with 6 RBI and 5 Runs brings suspicion, what about the highest paid player on the team hitting .226 with 1 RBI and 2 Runs? |

Sorry but Joe Jackson admitted in grand jury testimony that he received $5,000 out of the $20,000 promised to him. I don't know where you got those facts from. Here is the transcript from the testimony that was given by Jackson himself: Q: Did anybody pay you any money to help throw that series in favor of Cincinnati? A: They did. Q: How much did they pay? A: They promised me $20,000, and paid me $5,000. Q: Who promised you the twenty thousand? A: “Chick Gandil. Q: Who is Chick Gandil? A. He was their first baseman on the White Sox Club. Q: Who paid you the $5,000? A: Left Williams brought it in my room and threw it down. http://law2.umkc.edu/faculty/project...hoelessjoe.pdf Last edited by packs; 02-02-2018 at 08:28 AM. |

Speaking sophmorically, it’s hall of fame , not hall of infamy. I personally say no as a matter of precedence. Knowing they were giving up games a year after the series is now hall of fame worthy.
I wouldn’t want to be with my son looking at Cooperstown and telling my son this person intentionally stole bases like a schoolboy. You know who I’m talking about. Last edited by joshuanip; 02-02-2018 at 08:34 AM. Reason: Horrible English |

False in what way? Joe Jackson gave the testimony in person.

Your thesis is that Jackson perjured himself before a grand jury to make himself appear guilty when he was actually innocent?
