"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.

WANTED: STUD SP IN SALEM!


Things appear to be looking pretty good so far in Salem. They're currently #2 in the Power Rankings with a 33-17 record, and they sit on the top of the AL West standings. However, they did get a touch of bad news just a couple hours ago.

In their last game against the New York Nippers, John Wang was pulled from the game after 12 pitches with what appears to be a sore shoulder. Although the injury doesn't seem too serious, it does raise doubts on whether the Salem rotation can withstand the entire length of the season injury-free. Salem GM Rootgargle said on the matter...

"We're lucky that John Wang won't be out for long, but I have my concerns. We are going to need to pick up a legit SP if we're going to make some noise in the playoffs."


Now, just how serious is Salem's search for a top-notch SP? If you are an owner with a stud SP available, you could obtain the services of 4-time All-Star Gerry Dixon.

DIXON: AVAILABLE FOR RIGHT SP


Dixon is on pace for another All-Star season, sporting a .314 BA with 13 HR and 49 RBI. He's also a gem on the field defensively, as he rarely makes mistakes with the glove. All interested parties send a TC to Rootgargle to begin the negotiating process.
