re: Shoeless Joe belongs in the Hall of Fame

So maybe he took the money - and he probably did.

Owners were cheap bastards back then.

But the stats don't lie.

There's no evidence he was in on throwing games during the World Series. If he was, he sucked at it.

Babe Ruth said of Shoeless Joe, “I copied Jackson’s style because I thought he was the greatest hitter I had ever seen, the greatest natural hitter I ever saw. He’s the guy who made me a hitter.”

I mean, c'mon? This guy isn't in the Hall? Over a very shady case in a very shady era with very shady owners.
