Tell the whole story. "Williams said he used Joe’s name to get more money from the gamblers, and then felt for this reason that he “owed” it to Joe." "Lefty Williams’ testimony in the 1924 Milwaukee trial when he said under oath that he “used Jackson’s name in the meetings with the gamblers [meetings Joe did not attend] without Jackson’s knowledge or permission.” Jackson also claimed Williams told him “he used my name in order to wring more money out of certain fellows supposed to be gamblers.” Joe on the money: "He said he made attempts to see White Sox owner Charles Comiskey and Secretary Harry Grabiner to give them the money or at least inform them as to what had transpired. He claimed he was rebuffed in these efforts and told to keep the money. There is no solid evidence that he made the attempt to see Comiskey, only Joe’s word. The evidence for the Grabiner rebuff is much stronger. At the 1924 Milwaukee trial, 11 of the 12 jurors believed Joe on this point." Joe's testimony at trial: "He reiterated his claim that he tried to see Comiskey and Grabiner as soon as he received the money. He gave this explanation as to why it was given to him and why he took it: “He [Williams] didn’t want the money, and I thought just this way, since that lousy so-called gambling outfit had used my name, I might as well have their money as for him [Williams].” This is what happened to the money: “Neither Joe nor his wife Katie believed the money was theirs, to spend on themselves. They put it in savings and let it earn interest. After Katie death, it was donated to the American Heart Fund and the American Cancer Society.”

No, you are wrong, he accepted money to throw the Series, played well at times, but conveniently and mysteriously did not play well in several key situations, He is guilty.

What about that white privilege im always hearing about?

@@DonTrump-sv1si What is your point, or do you even have one?

@@garymorris1856 Where's Joe's White privilege?

@@garymorris1856 I thought all card carrying, honored members of the white privilege club could use their card anywhere excepted.

He still played exceptionally well and didn’t commit an error the entire 9 game series.

So the video isn’t entirely accurate. Joe Jackson was coerced and manipulated due to his illiteracy and not knowing what he was accepting. Once he discovered the truth, he went to return the money. Joe Jackson played exceptionally well during the series with no errors. That’s key. If a player was to throw the game, there would certainly be errors.

​@TB_MPGP you are wrong...u have not done the research...watching movies isn't research. In his grand jury testimony Jackson was offered 20k..was paid 5k and kept asking Gandil where the other money is He also said they tried to throw game 3

There in nothing "unclear" about it, he accepted money, and his play was very suspect at key times during the Series

@@SkSKSK283 Your summation of his play in the Series in very superficial, his play was very suspect at key times, and he did accept money,

Jackson took money and a participant in the 19 series fix. He confessed to the Grand jury and went into great detail about it. We can forgive him as I have but he is not innocent- we can't change facts.

No.

agree.....there is ample evidence that Buck Weaver was involved and became involved in fixing games in the 1920 season. Weaver attended various meetings AFTER the world series started according to the grand jury confessions..these meetings included gamblers.

haha love that!

Take a good look at his stats and tell me he wouldn't be remembered.

Wrong...white Sox 19 salary was second highest in baseball

@@robbie192 Overall, yes, but that was inflated by players Comsikey liked such as Eddie Collins. Look up how much Shoeless Joe made compared to Ty Cobb, and compare the per diems they got to the rest of the league. I'd say someone who refused to provide laundry services for the players was pretty tight-fisted.

100 years ago. Used to be 9

Heyo!

Joe Jackson himself admitted in his original testimony that he took the $5k that Lefty gave him and was mad that he didnt receive the full share he was promised. He knew what was going on but still may have played his best. Either way he wasn’t oblivious. Still I personally believe he should be in the Hall

No, you are wrong.

@@garymorris1856 I’m not pulling shit out of my ass, the facts are straight from the original testimony of Jackson. When he ended up being acquitted, then testifying to be reinstated to pro ball, he ended up being charged with perjury due to the fact that he lied about what he originally had stated in the first trial. Read up before you speak up pal

@@garymorris1856 Explain how I'm wrong. If he was in the fix then how do you explain those great numbers.

​@@garymorris1856 😠 No, YOU are wrong!😠
