Default Shoeless Joe in the Hall?

Posted By: dennis

joe jackson's legacy is that he is NOT in the baseball hall of fame. if he were (and he never will be) he would not have the fame and great popularity he has attained today.let's pretend he died in 1918 and was elected to the hall,he would be about as famous/popular as addie joss,who did not cheat and was a great pitcher! this love of joe has been created in the last 20 years. most fans who followed the game back then thought of him and his teamates as cheats/crooks, why ,because that is what they were. it is a popular cause to believe joe jackson belongs in the hall of fame. he does not. remember O J Simpson was also found not guilty in a court of law.
