He definitely took money from the men organizing the fix, but he claims he changed his mind, tried to return the money, and was not throwing games. His stats are really good from the series, but much better in the games they won than the games they lost. There's one famous play where Jackson was throwing a guy out at the plate and the pitcher Ciccotte (who was definitely in on it) apparently knocked the ball down to prevent the play from being made.<BR/><BR/>A great book on the subject is<BR/><BR/>Luhrs, Victor. <I>The Great Baseball Mystery—The 1919 World Series.</I>Zachary Lesserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00600947851652916524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8486845381946251843.post-56288580184441578042007-05-16T17:46:00.000+10:002007-05-16T17:46:00.000+10:00Dear Todd, I used to attend many CPBL games,but...Dear Todd,<BR/> I used to attend many CPBL games,but I am not now.Jessica Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01763469077445655085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8486845381946251843.post-11810357501128699112007-05-16T03:41:00.000+10:002007-05-16T03:41:00.000+10:00Jessica,Do you attend many CPBL games?Jessica,<BR/>Do you attend many CPBL games?Todd Drewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03780724600781551020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8486845381946251843.post-33056409762068708682007-05-15T18:24:00.000+10:002007-05-15T18:24:00.000+10:00Thanks,Andrea, Your explanation is very clear.Thanks,Andrea,<BR/> Your explanation is very clear.Jessica Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01763469077445655085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8486845381946251843.post-50445630946207974392007-05-15T17:06:00.000+10:002007-05-15T17:06:00.000+10:00That's interesting.

It's an American movie about a man who gets rid of a lot of the corn from his farm, and the spirits of old baseball players came and played on his field, including Shoeless Joe Jackson, who, in the movie, was supposed to be the only member of the 1919 White Sox who didn't throw the World Series.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04305378443941613289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8486845381946251843.post-61569315217326960912007-05-15T16:39:00.000+10:002007-05-15T16:39:00.000+10:00Dear Andrea, I don't understand your first ques...Dear Andrea,<BR/> I don't understand your first question about "Field of Dreams" because of my poor English,so I can't answer that for you.Maybe you can help me out by explaining it for me.<BR/><BR/>MLB(162 games)<BR/>Korea&Japan Pro League(140 games)<BR/>CPBL(100 games)<BR/><BR/> We just have one league including 6 teams unlike MLB(AL&NL)<BR/><BR/> Season in CPBL begins in the middle March until the end of September.We don't have any game on Monday.We also have playoff begin around middle October.Three among six teams will be quailified to playoff,including first half season champion,Second half season champion and the best record of other 4 teams.The champion of playoff will present Taiwan to attend Asia Series.<BR/><BR/> The whole name of Asia Series is "KONAMI CUP Asia Series"<BR/><BR/> Asia Series will begin in November.The champion of playoff in Korea,Japan,Taiwan and All Star of China team will attend this Asia Series.Every country want to win and become champion of Asia Series.It will present the best of Asia.Asia Series first came out in 2005.It was 2nd Asia Series in 2006.Taiwan team is second place in 2006.Jessica Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01763469077445655085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8486845381946251843.post-32151745237275213412007-05-15T09:03:00.000+10:002007-05-15T09:03:00.000+10:00I agree with z.

Do you (anyone, really) know how much of what they say in Field of Dreams is true, insofar as Shoeless Joe never having been proven guilty of taking the bribes or throwing the game?<BR/><BR/>How does the CPBL work? If there's only 6 teams, is it a shorter season, or do they play against other leagues? I know you said that you know some of the Japanese players well, so do they play games against teams in the CPBL?<BR/><BR/>I know I could probably look all this up, but it seems more accurate coming from someone who lives there!Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04305378443941613289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8486845381946251843.post-34557619256692760742007-05-15T06:22:00.000+10:002007-05-15T06:22:00.000+10:00Dear z, In Taiwan,We did caught gangsters and pl...Dear z,<BR/> In Taiwan,We did caught gangsters and players who admitted to do that.The players are not allowed to play again in their rest of life.Some experts analyize this will happen in the earlier of any pro baseball league of any country.Jessica Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01763469077445655085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8486845381946251843.post-54246353242084393402007-05-15T05:58:00.000+10:002007-05-15T05:58:00.000+10:00Very interesting.
