  • Randy Reiss said:
    Attell = Abe "The Little Hebrew" Attell, featherweight champ and accused mafia-white Sox go-between during the "Black Sox' scandal. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abe_Attell
  • Wystan said:
    "Assuming an Irish name was not unusual in that era of boxing; there were Jewish fighters with Irish names too; and Jim Flynn, the only man who ever knocked out Jack Dempsey, was actually named Andrea Chiariglione. One reason for the name changes is that there were not enough Irish fighters to satisfy the large number of Irish fans." -- Pete Hamill, "Why Sinatra Matters" (Boston: Little, Brown, 1998), p. 58.

    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?
