Weaver Buck

Black Sox Papers?

if you are a true baseball history buff as I am, you will find this interesting. It also helps give a nice little lesson to those lacking in said history. I am very interested in the 1919 Black Sox scandal and the resultant banning of players such as the immortal Shoeless Joe Jackson. I would love any comments about the Chicago Black Sox. Should Shoeless Joe be taken off the banned list? What about Buck Weaver? Anyone else from the team? Anyone know much about this?

THese papers should be very interesting for everyone to see when they are finally auctioned off. I think that the current ban on these players should be maintained unitl there is proff that one of them did not have ANYTHING to do with it, I agree that Joe Jackson had a great series but he still took their money, Buck Weaver may have played his heart out but was an organizer and also took part in the planning…he shold stay out as well. You can not sacrifice the integrity of the game for a short term windfall. The same will come up with the Steroid era for the HOF; it will be harder for guys to get in and some have to clear their name before being enshrined.
