Joe Jackson was kicked out of baseball with a lack of evidence. He allegedly threw a World Series for money with the "Black" Sox. During this 1919 World Series vs. the Reds, Jackson batted .375 (highest on either team), had 6 RBIs (highest on the Sox), hit 3 doubles, and the series' only home run. He was by far the best player in the whole series, and it is obvious he was out to win it. Meanwhile, he did accept money from gamblers that were throwing the World Series. Then again, Jackson was not educated (he could barely write his whole name) and probably didn't know what the money was for. Players didn't receive that much money back then, so when given to him, he took it. Jackson knew one thing, and that was how to play baseball. He deserves to be in the Hall of Fame and sign up if you agree. Career statistics- Avg. .356 H 1772 OBP .432 HR 54 RBI 785
come on now... enough is enough. No proof the JJ altered his performance. The commissioner at the time set unrealistic stipulations. Based on his guidelines Willie Mays and Mickey Mantle should be removed from the HOF because they received money from a gambling establishment

Time to fix this mistake. He is one of the best hitters to ever play the game period.

The gamblers probably took him for a ride. The man hit .375 in that series. That is not throwing a game. Ridiculous he keeps getting blocked.

JUSTICE FOR JOE!! He was an illiterate farm boy who got caught up in something way over his head. Put him where he belongs.
