Shoeless Joe Comes to Ohio


“Cleveland Guardians closer Emmanuel Clase and right-handed starter Luis L. Ortiz have been indicted on charges stemming from alleged gambling misconduct — specifically manipulating bets on individual pitches. The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York announced the charges on Sunday (11/9/25).” CBS.

This will likely kill any chance that Shoeless Joe or Charlie Hustle get inducted into Cooperstown. They found Five Grand in Joe’s banking account and he would go on to buy a Liquor store after getting kicked out of the MLB. Shoeless would have gotten away with this had it not looked like the Black Sox would play again in the 1920 World Series!

And that is all I’m going to say about that! 

The Big Six Christy Mathewson believed that Jackson was throwing the Series Defensely!
