"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.

NL CY YOUNG CANDIDATES


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


PAUL LECROY, PHI


This man has been straight out dominant so far this season for the Cheese Steaks. Paul LeCroy, the former #1 overall picks a few seasons back, is 10-2 with a 2.63 ERA. He has a career-best 1.06 WHIP this season, and it's looking like he'll be the NL starter in the All-Star game. Well deserved, indeed.

VICENTE TREVINO, STL


The CY YOUNG winner back in S5, he had an off S6. However, he's back in CY form with St. Louis this season. Vicente Trevino is 10-4 with a 2.71 ERA so far, and he doesn't seem to be slowing down one bit.

AL BURNETT, KC


Enter the darkhorse, Mr.Al Burnett. He sports an 8-4 record with a 2.98 ERA for the Kansas City Pine Tar, and he looks to lead the club into the 2nd half of the year in solid shape for a Wild Card berth, if not the Division Title. If KC is to overtake Philly, Burnett must keep his form.
