In the 1919 world series Joe Jackson had 12(a world series record) which I think still stands now. I really think he should be in the hall of fame. Also read Shoeless

He is a player who without question should be in the Hall of Fame. When you look at his stats in the 1919 series, they did not indicate he was a part of the scandal. The real villain was the so-called “commish,”Kenesaw M. Landis. He was a racist and part of the reason for the sickening “Gentlemen’s Agreement” that did not allow a great player like Jackie Robinson to break the color line until after Landis died. Landis was without question, the wrong man for the job. Now let’s talk about Charles Comiskey! He was a greedy owner who was known for being so cheap that he would not launder his players’ uniforms. There are so many more things that Comisky did to break the morale of his team.

Joe Jackson belongs in the HOF. He was given a lifetime ban in 1920 and died in 1951. The lifetime ban was completed and evidence suggests he was not part of the fix. Justice needs to be served for the Jackson family and tThe Hall needs to include one of the greatest players ever to play. Once again, as he is known to do, Bud Selig makes no decision..waffles and ignores a controversial subject. I suggest we turn up the heat on the next Commissioner. Hopefully it will be a person with intellect and backbone.
