I don't think the bench players got in on the deal at all...and didn't know what was going on!ken reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07501114589046544682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-44360710376298146312014-02-09T09:02:33.510-05:002014-02-09T09:02:33.510-05:00I don't usually get into the conspiracy theori...I don't usually get into the conspiracy theories and such, especially if I wasn't there or even alive. I know many have said since that he had nothing to do with it but he is still on the ineligible list and all that so that's the premise I went with when I wrote the article.<br /><br />That same judge that you speak of though acquitted all seven or eight of them if I remember correctly, and in the most corrupt town in the nation at the time I am not shocked they were found innocent.

I have one correction to make...Very Good Daniel....<br />I have one correction to make, Shoeless Joe never threw a game in his life! He didn't know the game was being tanked until one of the players came to him in that last game and told him the fix was in. Joe did take the money days before the WS started, the other players knew he wouldn't go along with it so they didn't tell him it was for the fix! He was a very simplistic guy and had little education, he had no idea what it was for! In that WS he damn near won the thing for the White Sox all by himself. A judge said he had no part in the game being thrown but Mountain Man (Baseball Commish) wouldn't go along with the judges ruling...and banned him from baseball.<br /><br />This is all from memory, after reading most of the books on Joe years ago! <br /><br />Anyhow I do agree with you on how the media and Bud have gone out of there way to make our 3rd baseman the poster child for something they knew was going on and stood by and let it happen. Where is the condemnation of Bonds, MacG, Ortiz, Manny Ramirez they were guilty as hell. There has always been bad blood between Bud and the Yankees, even before he became Commish. If I remember right, one time King George called him a "bad used car salesman"!ken reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07501114589046544682noreply@blogger.com
