Bob- I just started reading the Delahanty book the other day. It's well written but I haven't gotten too far yet. Regarding the Black Sox I always felt the eight players had varying degrees of ambivalence as the Series progressed. While Chick Gandil may have been the most headstrong of the bunch, I feel others got cold feet along the way. In Jackson's case, I think he played as well and competitvely as he would have under the best of circumstances. But a few of them sensed the scheme was unravelling as the games went along. They still accepted money, so they shouldn't be exonerated.
