I'm not debating he had a decent Series, but he did not overachieve like Buck did. And taking the money is worse then being at a meeting and not taking any money or part in. Your argument he tried to return it is fine and all, but just don't take it and then u don'tneed to return it.

This topic will be debated 'til hades freezes over. imo Buck suffered an injustice. Regardless, they're all wrong and Comiskey was the instigator and should have been the 9th Man Out.

Folks are wrong to blame Landis, he saved the sport... Selig could learn something from him.

In his testimony before the Cook County Grand Jury on September 28, 1920, Jackson testified that he received the $ 5000 after game 4. He also tetified he was promised $ 20,000. He also testified that in return for $ 20,000 he would participate. He also testified that he was upset that the initial payment was only $ 5,000

The transcript is in the public domain ( I have a copy) and pretty much gave Landis all he needed

You mean the testimony where he didn't have his own attorney and signed a document that was put before him? Look at the 1924 Milwaukee trial, when he had his own attorney.

What happened to these 8 guys after the ban? Did any of them play organized ball in anyway again?
