"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.

S6 SHOEY AWARDS!!!!


Hello everybody, and welcome to the Shoeless Joe World Shoey Awards for S6. This is the first of what hopes to be many seasons for this award, recognizing owners, teams, and moves that helped establish what Shoeless Joe is today. Our first award is...


BEST TEAM ACQUISITION OF THE YEAR


And the winner is...


Jim Bailes FA Signing!


Jim Bailes FA Signing ..... 15
Hector Rodriguez Trade ..... 11
Terrell McCartin Trade ..... 8
Toby Blasingame Trade ..... 8
Thomas Lee FA Signing ..... 3

Jim Bailes had a monster S6, hitting .343 with 26 HR and 121 RBIs. While making only $6.5M a season, he is arguably considered the steal of the S6 Free Agent market.



COMEBACK TEAM OF THE YEAR


And the winner is...


THE SAN JUAN EXPOS!


San Juan Expos ..... 14
Pawtucket Bombers ..... 10
St. Louis Soul ..... 8
Rochester Mountain Dwellers ..... 7
New York Nippers ..... 6

Back in S5, the San Juan franchise (then in Iowa City) was not very good. They had the worst record in the league, and was a virtual laughing stock. Enter natas46, the bright new owner of the franchise. And literally overnight, he turned the team around. They improved 12 wins from last year's total, and their future looks bright. Plus, they were the winners of the Bobby Reese sweepstakes. This is definitely a team on the rise.



And last, but certainly not least...


OWNER OF THE YEAR


And the winner is...

JWELSH1023!!!


jwelsh1023 ..... 15
m22pank ..... 11
crcummings ..... 8
hwaters397 ..... 6
austinfan1 ..... 5

A landslide winner for Owner of the Year. The Monterrey owner directed his team straight to the top, with a WS win over Little Rock. His shrewd decision making and savvy baseball knowledge led Monterrey to the top prize in all of SJW. Now the question is, do they have enough to do it again???
