The aim of this page is to give an overview of the 1919 World Series. Through a series of
links we will explore who the major players (the gambling element) were, the so-called "fixed" players involved in the scandal, Joe's
1920 Cook County Grand Jury testimony, his record for the 1919 World Series, a ballot where you can tell us whether you think his name should be cleared
and a link to our Message Forum where you can tell us what you think, good, bad or indifferent.
 The Major Players - This page looks at the gambling element of the fix, who the major players were on the gambling side of the fix. The Eight Men - This page looks at the eight men banned for life from organized baseball, and what happened to them later in life. |

Compare the statistics of the other players and you will see, Joe Jackson played his heart out and played to win!!! 1919 World Series Play By Play - 1919 World Series Play By Play accounts.....take a look for yourself..... We suggest you print these pages out......take three highlighters of different colors....say a yellow, pink, and a green. Highlight all the plays Joe is involved in with the green highlighter and then highlight all the plays that Eddie Collins (in yellow) and Ray Schalk (in pink) are involved in (supposely not in on the fix). After having done this......it should be clear that even Collins and Schalk had plays that could be looked upon as suspect. While we do not believe, not are we suggesting that Eddie Collins and Ray Schalk were in on a fix, we are saying that if you start suspecting someone of foul play you can read things into every action they make......that does not make a person guilty. This was baseball, in baseball you are going to have balls hit over your head, you are going to have balls hit out of your reach, you are going to fly out from time to time, as well as strike out. All these things happened to Collins, as well as Joe. Again.....this does not make a man guilty......and we are suggesting that Joe Jackson played his heart out and played to win.
