Society Forms To Clear Shoeless' Name
The Shoeless Joe Jackson Historical Society in Greenville bills to clear Joe Jackson's name 70 years after the 1919 World Series scandal. Members argue Jackson was damaged by ban and bias despite strong on field contributions and say the movies Eight Men Out and Field of Dreams bolster their case. The group seeks a meeting with Commissioner Giamatti but flags Pete Rose as a complicating factor.
