The Histories, Volume 9, Number 1 3 I Shoeless Joe Jackson and the 1919 World Series By Paul Orzechowski ‘10 The greatest legend in baseball history is considered by most to be Babe Ruth. It is fitting that Ruth modeled his swing off the only player who is as much a legend as himself. Much like “The Babe,” this man is known to history by a nickname: “Shoeless” Joe Jackson. Ironically, the pure swing of this baseball outlaw helped create the savior of baseball, Babe Ruth. In recent years, Jackson has become one of the most interesting and written about players in baseball history. His story is characterized by myths and undisclosed truths, ranging from the origin of his nickname, “Shoeless Joe” to the oft quoted child’s request“Say it ain’t so Joe!” (regarding Jackson’s involvement in the Black Sox Scandal). These myths serve as testimony to his legendary status in the history of the game of baseball.

  • Volume 4 Number 033 Black Sox Scandal - I
    Volume 4 Number 033 Black Sox Scandal - I Lead: America was just about begin its "return to normalcy" under Warren Gamaliel Harding when in the fall of 1920 a Chicago Grand Jury indicted eight White Sox players for throwing the 1919 World Series in what became the Black Sox Scandal. Tag: A Moment in Time with Dan Roberts. Content: In 1919, the Chicago White Sox were one of the finest teams in the history of baseball. The team's talent was in depth with excellent batting and several positions covered by more than a single outstanding player. In left field was Joe Jackson, one of the game's great hitters. On the mound spit-ball specialist Eddie Cicotte alternated with Claude "Lefty" Williams for pitching honors. They romped through American League during the season and were highly favored to beat the lack-luster National League contenders, the Cincinnati Reds. However, in one of baseball's most sensational reverses, the White Sox had lost. Even before the first game rumors were flying that the fix was in and that several White Sox players had conspired to throw the series. White Sox owner Charles A. Comisky, tight-fisted and at times abusive, began a quiet investigation of his own team almost as soon as the series was over. Despite a $20,000 reward for information, the results of the probe offered no proof, nothing beyond rumors and innuendo. Speculation focused on eight players: To Cicotte, Williams, and Jackson were added Chick Gandil, Hap Felsch, Swede Risberg, Fred McMullin, and Buck Weaver. Nearly a year passed and the gossip and hearsay continued to rumble just beneath the surface, finally coming to the ear of Charles A.

  • Eliot Asinof - Eight Men Out
    Eliot Asinof - Eight Men Out Eight Men Out The Black Sox and the 1919 World Series Eliot Asinof 1963 To Gahan and Marty "As Jackson departed from the Grand Jury room, a small boy clutched at his sleeve and tagged along, after him. "'Say it ain't so, Joe,' he pleaded. 'Say it ain't so.'" —Chicago Herald and Examiner, September 30, 1920 "The most gigantic sporting swindle in the history of America!" These headlines proclaiming the 1919 fix of the World Series startled millions of readers and focused the attention of the entire country on one of the most incredible episodes ever to be enacted in the public eye. Now, after painstaking research, Eliot Asinof has reconstructed the entire scene-by-scene story of this fantastic scandal in which eight Chicago White Sox players arranged with the nation's leading gamblers to throw the series to Cincinnati. Mr. Asinof vividly describes the tense meetings, the hitches in the conniving, the actual plays in which the Series was thrown, the Grand Jury indictment, and the famous 1921 trial. Moving behind the scenes, he perceptively examines the motives and backgrounds of the players and the conditions that made the improbable fix all too possible. Here are the anguished, guilty pitchers, Eddie Cicotte and "Lefty" Williams; the bewildered, fixed left fielder, "Shoeless" Joe Jackson; and the victimized third baseman, "Buck" Weaver. There are also deft portrayals of Charles Comiskey and Ban Johnson, as well as of deeply shocked newspapermen like Ring Lardner. The graphic picture of the American underworld which managed the fix lends eerie fascination to the book.
