Shoeless Joe runs again
Article Abstract:
Shoeless Joe Jackson was a baseball player from Greenville, South Carolina, which is using his memory as a way to revitalize the town. He was suspended with seven other players from the Chicago White Sox over allegations relating to a gamblers' plot to rig the World Series of 1919 against the Cincinnati Reds. Jackson was acquitted but still banned from playing. West Greenville wants the ban lifted, and the case is being reviewed by Major League Baseball.
