I wonder why Joe wouldn't agree to this.  I thought one of the reasons for the Black 
Sox were that players were chronically underpaid by the team owners, so they  
were looking for extra cash.  So if these companies offered some dollars for their 
permission, why wouldn't he jump at it?  Maybe he was a very private person, but I 
have seen him in posed photos from that era.
