What suggests that Shoeless Joe was innocent was his good record. He actually, believe it or not, set a Series record of 12 hits, made no errors and was quite had the best batting average of any player in the Series as well. The story is that Shoeless Joe, who barely literate, was tricked by the team's attorney Alfred Austrian. Austrian very well may have got Joe drunk before his grand jury testimony

@duckman531 ~ correct, he had several cases that were national news, he was overruled by the supreme court, other controversial rulings, he worked for president grover cleveland and even caused controversy then. cleveland was against annexing hawaii which was leaked, cleveland blamed landis for the leak. quite the character, i didn't like him for the white sox bans and it was alleged landis kept baseball segregated. but the more you learn, he's not the person they portrayed him as.

Shoeless was a hell of a player. Should have been a hall of famer. But you just can't let gamblers into the hall.
