"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.

AL CY YOUNG CANDIDATES


Here's a quick look at the top AL CY Young candidates so far this season.


RUDY DINGMAN, PAW


This former Salem castoff is a pitcher who's always had the talent, just never turned it on until this season. So far in S7, Rudy Dingman is 9-3 with a 2.14 ERA, and an impressive 0.89 WHIP. This could finally be the year that Dingman bring the CY hardware home.


WESLEY DOUGLASS, OKC


Yet another Salem castoff who's found much success after leaving the Lights. Wesley Douglass is 8-4 so far this season with a 2.81 ERA for the Oklahoma City squad. His .205 OAV is extremely impressive, considering they are division-mates with some of the highest scoring teams in the AL. As we head closer to the All-Star Break, it'll be interesting to see if Douglass can hold onto this pace.

CHARLIE UPSHAW, RIC


Richmond hasn't had many bright spots so far this season, but Charlie Upshaw is definitely one of them. Sporting a 7-2 record with a 2.49 ERA, Upshaw is a legit contender for the AL CY award. Consider Upshaw the darkhorse for the award, but realistically, he has a good a shot as anybody.
