"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 MVP CANDIDATES

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


PEDRO RODRIGUEZ, PAW


This stud 1B didn't wait long at all to showcase his talents at the ML level. At the ripe age of 22, Pedro Rodriguez instantly became a superstar. This season, he has a league-lead .370 BA with 21 HR and 72 RBI. If he keeps this rate up, it'll be hard to pass him up for AL MVP.


GERONIMO ELCANO, SAL


Last season's MVP hasn't let up one bit after making his ML debut. Geronimo Elcano is absolutely destroying the ball this season, leading the league with 31 HR and 92 RBI. His .327 BA isn't too shabby, either. Elcano arguably had the inside track, but a neck injury has him sidelined for another 19 games. Will Rodriguez take advantage and seal the award, or will Elcano regain his form after his comeback from injury?

DEL GUITERREZ, MAD


If you want a darkhorse for the award, then here's your man. Del Gutierrez has as much talent as Elcano and Rodriguez, and he's capable of turning it on at any moment. He's a hair under a .300 BA with .296, but his 29 HR and 65 RBI has him among the league's best.
