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.

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.

It is known that testimony was false. That story was created by Alfred Austrian, Charles Comiskey's attorney. Lefty Williams', who was part of the fix, story contradicts that testimony.

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?
