I'd vote for Cicotte but doubt he gets 5 votes which is required to stay on the ballot.

Cicotte's role in the 1919 WS fix is much more damnable than Joe Jackson's which should hurt Cicotte's chances

Cicotte was a primary and possibly THE primary fixer as many believe it was his idea.

Well Said Thomas
and eligible does not mean deserving and eligible does not take away to me the degree of the guilt/involvment of his role in the Fix
