Well....it has been many years since we last picked up and read that book.....but nothing sticks our in our minds that would say Joe was portrayed badly in the book.....but again....it has been many years since we read the book....guess we need to re-read the book just to make sure.........

   Yes, I have read "SHOELESS" by David Fleitz, it was an interesting book, but he holds with the idea that Joe did willingly throw games in the 1919 WS, and, was a conspirator. Mr. Fleitz has his right to this conclusion, I just don't agree with it. Joe's offense and defense in that Series was too strong to suggest complicity.
