    One of the 8 implicated in the "Black Sox" scandal: commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Eight_men_banned.png

    Dated 1918 by Pictorial History Committee, Society for American Baseball Research, but Sox did not wear any pinstripes that year. Felsch played on the Sox 1917 team as well, so likely 1917 as with other pix in this series. See

    wow. Shoeless Joe before being traded to the future Black Sox.
  • Scarce Fruit said:
    Is shoeless Joe Jackson still denied recognition in the baseball hall of fame? Can't an argument be made that even though he didn't willingly come forth to expose his team mates for their throwing that infamous game, yet Joe was nevertheless on the field that day playing his heart out -- probably in more ways than one --, and so lovers of the game may graciously give Joe a break?
  • Valerie Reneé said:
    Yeah, he's still banned, even though a grand jury acquitted all the players accused in the scandal. It's sad, especially considering that to this day he still holds multiple records in major league ball.

    Can the Baseball Hall of Fame make those on MLB's ineligible list eligible for election since the Hall is separate from the league?
