"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.

SJ HIGHLIGHT: REESE DOMINATES WORLD CHAMPS


San Juan, PR


It's not everyday that the defending World Champs gets 1-hit in a game. And it's even more rare when a rookie leads the way doing it. San Juan stud SP Bobby Reese pitched 7 innings, only surrendering a bloop single to Cy Blume in the 7th inning. He ended up walking 2 and striking out 6, leading San Juan to a 4-0 win over Rochester.

Vic Christopher entered the game in the 8th inning and ended up getting the victory for San Juan, upping his record to 5-5 on the season. The tough luck loser was Alfredo Martin, who gave up 2 runs and 7 hits in 7+ innings. It was a well-deserved victory for the Expos, but the real story of the win was Reese. He pitched like a poised veteran as he mowed down the intimidating Rochester lineup. This is just the start of great things to come for Bobby Reese.
