I was having fun initially, then I wasn't having fun after about my 4th or 5th post on the matter.


Regarding the book, there is nothing new on the matter that can be concretely proven since about 1994, maybe even earlier than that. And even if some "new" information does arise, it will be met with as many questions as it does answers in regard to said information ...... it's like people arguing/debating how many shooters there were in the Kennedy assassination in 1963 and/or whether or not Oswald pulled the trigger ...... there are some things that none of us will ever know, and the fixing of the 1919 World Series is one of those things ....... I claim to be a Black Sox expert, and I know a lot about what happened, but believe it or not there is actually more that I DON'T know than I DO know.

No worries and no need to edit your post. And my bad for being stubborn on my stance. FWIW - I learned a lot from your posts on the subject and it piqued my interest enough to do some google searches and read some articles.

The book is actually about the civil trial where Shoeless Joe sued Charles Comiskey a couple of years after the Black Sox trial. I didn't know that this took place; guessing you did though. Anyway, based on the article the book is from recently found transcripts of the civil trial, so thought it would interest you.
