"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 MVP CANDIDATES

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


LIVAN ORDONEZ, KC


This guy doesn't overwhelm you with his power or his speed, but Livan Ordonez can flat out hit. He's currently sporting a .381 BA, which is tops in the entire ML. Along with 21 HR and 64 RBI, you can be assured that Ordonez will stay in the NL MVP race for the entire season.


BILLY LAMB, BOS


This is the man that has torn up ML pitching since first stepping foot on ML soil. Billy Lamb is on pace this season for all-time highs in virtually every category. Sporting a .334 BA, 34 HR, and 78 RBI, Billy currently has the inside track for the NL award. It is a long season, however, and there's still plenty of time for other candidates to make up ground.

HARRY ROWE, ARI


If there's an NL MVP candidate from the Arizona franchise, chances are you are thinking that it's Nicholas Lanier. Wrong! Enter Harry Rowe, Arizona's new hitting stud. With a .325 BA, 24 HR, and a NL-leading 80 RBI, Rowe has as good a chance for the NL MVP as anybody. Don't count Lanier out either, as you know he'll bounce back.
