"SHOELESS" JOE JACKSON

.. was an American baseball player who played Major League Baseball in the
early part of the 20th century. He is remembered for his excellent perform-
ance on the field and for his association with the Black Sox Scandal, when members of the 1919 Chicago White Sox participated in a conspiracy to fix
the World Series. Kenesaw Mountain Landis, Major League Baseball's first commissioner, banned Jackson from playing after the 1920 season due to
his alleged involvement in the scandal. But for nearly 85 years, fans have
argued as to whether or not the White Sox legend truly deserves such a
stiff penalty, especially when he was acquitted of any wrong doing.

This world is dedicated to Shoeless Joe.

ODDS-N-ENDS (volume 1)



Rodriguez: Mr. 300 HR Man


Congratulations goes out to Pawtucket's Hector Rodriguez. Not only is he Shoeless Joe World's career Home Run leader, but he is the only member of the exclusive '300 HR' club. He currently sits at 301, and we expect him to pile onto that total this coming season.


Lanier: 170 Runs in S5


As if Nicholas Lanier needs any more congratulations, but he continues to rack up the records here in SJW. His 170 runs scored last season is the most scored by any player in SJW history. By the time Lanier's career is over and done with, expect Nicholas to break a lot more records.



Cepeda/Prieto: 1,000 Hits Club


The achievements continue to mount here in SJW, and especially for two players in particular. St. Louis' Shaggy Cepeda and Las Vegas' Tony Prieto saw themselves joining an elite group, the 1,000 Hits Club, as they both sit at 1,031 and 1,008, respectively. We will eventually witness this club get bigger and bigger over time, but these two deserve major credit for being the first ones to join.
