7/29/25	Black Sox, Ohtani's interpreter and more: A look at prominent sports betting scandals. Betting scandals have been a concern for professional sports leagues for as long as they've existed, but a U.S. Supreme Court ruling in May 2018 has led to a wave of gambling incidents involving athletes and officials. The ruling struck down a federal law that barred sports betting in most states and opened the doors for online sportsbooks to take up a prominent space in the sports ecosystem. • In 1920, a Chicago grand jury indicted eight members of the Chicago White Sox on charges of fixing the 1919 World Series, which became known as the “Black Sox Scandal.” White Sox owner Charles Comiskey immediately suspended the eight players, including “Shoeless” Joe Jackson, and they were banned permanently a year later by newly appointed baseball commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis.

6/08/25	Morris's own Shoeless Joe roots for White Sox legend to go into the Hall of Fame. Major League Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred announced in early May that Shoeless Joe Jackson would be one of a few players to have their lifetime ban from the game removed. Although Jackson passed away in 1951, this opens the door to right a wrong Morris resident Joe Schmitz believes should have been corrected almost a century ago – Shoeless Joe Jackson can go into the Major League Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York. Schmitz serves on the Shoeless Joe Jackson Museum Advisory staff, and he's met members of the White Sox legend's family and the museum curator.

5/31/25	Cory Franklin: The lessons of 'Shoeless' Joe Jackson and the MLB's rewriting of history. MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred recently removed Pete Rose's permanent ban from baseball, which will make him eligible for induction into the Hall of Fame. Manfred reinstated 17 other banned players as well, including members of the infamous 1919 Chicago White Sox who threw the World Series, including the team's star “Shoeless” Joe Jackson. The reinstatement was an obvious sop to the gambling industry, an MLB partner, and possibly also to President Donald Trump, who lobbied for Rose's future election into the Hall of Fame.

5/24/24	‘Work, Fight, or Play Ball’ Review: On the Diamond, Out of the Trenches. In 1918, Shoeless Joe Jackson of the Chicago White Sox announced that he had taken a job as a painter with a shipbuilding subsidiary of Bethlehem Steel.

In “Work, Fight, or Play Ball,” William Ecenbarger describes how many others stayed out of the trenches and remained on the diamond as part of industrial baseball leagues.

10/22/23	Today in White Sox History: October 22. Taking less than a month to deliberate, a grand jury formally implicated Swede Risberg, Chick Gandil, Shoeless Joe Jackson, Buck Weaver, Eddie Cicotte, Lefty Williams, Happy Felsch and Fred McMullin, along with five gamblers, in the Black Sox scandal over the 1919 World Series. The indictments were highlighted by nine counts of conspiracy to defraud. Source: https://www.southsidesox.com/2023/10/22/23925351/t...
10/15/23	Today in White Sox History: October 15. The White Sox won their second World Series title, beating the New York Giants four games to two. Just two days after finishing the Game 5 win with two innings of relief, Red Faber threw a complete game six-hitter to secure the crown. A hapless fourth inning for New York keyed the win, as Chicago scored three runs and would never trail in the game. Eddie Collins led off and got on via throwing error by third baseman Heinie Zimmerman, and Shoeless Joe Jackson followed with a fly ball that right fielder Dave Robertson dropped.

10/08/23	Today in White Sox History: October 8. The Pale Hose were in control from the jump, as Shoeless Joe Jackson had RBI singles in the first and third innings, and Happy Felsch knocked in two with a single in the fifth. Eddie Cicotte went the distance and got his first win of the Series; despite being a member of the Black Sox conspiracy, Cicotte finished his work against the Reds with a 2.91 ERA. More ominously, also on this day Lefty Williams and his family were threatened by gambling interests, looking ahead to his Game 8 start back in Chicago the next day. Williams was told he would need to immediately and irrevocably throw the game — and the starter obliged by coughing up four runs in the first inning before manager Kid Gleason played his hunch and yanked his starter with just one out in the game.
