today is the 87th year anniversary of the black sox scandal of 1919, when 8 players of the chicago white sox were convicted of fixing the world series.


i still say that MLB should let Shoeless" Joe Jackson and Pete Rose enter cooperstown.

i don't know, i kinda like that MLB stands behind it's decisions when it comes to stuff like this.


Jackson, i don't really know enough about the history to have an opinion either way.


rose, imo, is an asshat, and he brought everything on himself, then compounded it with lie after lie after lie.

if he had just come clean, i might feel different, but, he put himself above the game for years, so, no sympathy from me for rose.
