A pair of local historians have published a book making public for the first time transcripts from a 1924 trial that sheds new light on a question that has puzzled baseball fans for decades -- did Shoeless Joe Jackson help the Chicago Black Sox throw the 1919 World Series?More than 100 years after the biggest scandal in sports history, there is new information being made public about the.
Most fans know the basics of the Black Sox story - how the 1919 White Sox, considered the best team in baseball, and led by their star outfielder Shoeless Joe Jackson, shocked the sports world losing the World Series to the Cincinnati Reds. "We actually have film footage of Shoeless Joe leaving the courthouse that day in 1920 and he's flanked by two sheriff's deputies, bailiffs, and there's a huge crowd around him. And there's no little boy stopping him," Pomrenke said.
But that trial is long-forgotten in part because the transcripts of all the testimony disappeared, until now. The court records were almost tossed in the 1950's but were saved by a Milwaukee lawyer and remained hidden away until recently. The book reprints hundreds of pages of testimony from the key players involved in the fix, testimony the historians say clearly points to Jackson's guilt.
