Ugly, Rainy Day

There were quite a few visitors to the Shoeless Joe Jackson museum today. It really is such an amazing place I highly recommend going if you have never been. If you are  South Carolina native and you haven,t been...tsk..tsk.tsk. I learned some pretty interesting stuff today that I did not know. Even Comiskey(owner of the 1919 White Soxs) said that he did not believe that Joe had anything to do with the allegations. Hard to believe they still will not let him in the Hall. I did however talk with the curator of the museum today and there are talks of launching a nationwide campaign to have Selig(baseball commissioner)  clear Joe's name so that he can be allowed into the Hall, well at least considered. The really exciting thing is that I am going to be a part of something so important to History. They have invited me to help with the campaign, talk about leaving you stamp on baseball history! This will be quite a task, seeing as there have been movements before but no success. Jackson is on the ineligible list just like Pete Rose so it would take an act of god so to speak to get them cleared from the list and then considered for voting into the Hall.
