"Shoeless" Joe Jackson didn't know how to read or write so he didn't know what he was doing when he took the $10,000.

ya it sucks for him

Charles Comiskey is the motherfucker who's also to blame for these player's fate. That tight-wad son of a bitch treated his players like shit. He'll get his someday. God will take care of him. I don't blame the players for "throwing" the 1919 WS.

@theelvisguyComiskey also knew exactly what the players knew before the Series even started. The only reason Buck Weaver got banned was for knowing about the fix eventhough everybody including the players in on the fix knew he wasn't participating. Kid Gleason knew just about everything by the 2nd or 3rd game. So why was Comiskey never punished at all and cast as the wronged owner and Buck got banned for life for exactly the same thing, knowledge beforehand and nothing else?

@BryceTannerCooper

True but I don't think he was as dumb as they portrayed him in the movie Eight Men Out!

joe played too good to be in on that 1919 fix, I believe he took the money out of desperation (use it or lose it) because those were tough economic times and charlie O was one cheap bastard. He belongs in the HOF in my humble opinion.

Buck Weaver had it worst.

@mecormany Have you ever played baseball?

[mecormany]

@BryceTannerCooper No but you are stupid if you think I called him or you stupid. In fact I said he wasn't stupid, if you have any kind of reading comprehension at all, which obviously you don't. However let me take this opportunity to say that if you think not being able to read or write means he didn't know he was taking $5,000 (not 10, moron) you are beyond stupid. READ what is written ya dork.

[BryceTannerCooper]

@mecormany i didnt call him stupid, stupid

[mecormany]

@BryceTannerCooper C'mon, he couldn't read or write but he wasn't stupid. He didn't get 10, he got 5 and he took it. I don't think he played in the tank, nobody really knows who did besides Gandil, Cicotte and Williams. Joe had been in the MLs for a decade, he was no country bumpkin by then. Williams gave him 5 grand and he didn't give it back. Even if he did play his hardest, taking the money was very dumb, no matter if he was illiterate. They took the fall for an enitre industry's problem.
