"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.

PAWTUCKET ACQUIRES BLASINGAME!



BLASINGAME: PAW Bound


Pawtucket acquired a big-time pitcher today, as they obtained the services of SP Toby Blasingame from Minnesota. Blasingame has all the skills to be a dominant starting pitcher here in SJW. He's young and raw, but there's no doubt the talent is there. He struggled a bit last season, posting a 5-7 record with an ERA over 5. But give the man time, he will come through.


FITZ: Heading to MIN


In the deal, Minnesota gets three players back. Most notably, highly regarded SS prospect Billy Fitzgerald. Fitz may be a season or two away, but he's the real deal. Some question whether or not Fitz can actually play the SS position, but I'm sure Minnesota will find a way to get him into the lineup when he is finally ready. Also coming over to Minnesota in the deal are Gregg Davis and Jeffrey Powell.
