@SemperCaninus @AdamHughes54 @Jimfrombaseball As a lawyer let me congratulate you on the dumbest reply I read today. Nothing changes the undeniable fact Jackson took money to throw the WS & regardless of a verdict from a jury who celebrated with BlackSox post verdict. Feel free to reply, I won’t see it, I put fools on mute

"I had met a poor old rich man yesterday. In his garage he has a Packard and a Buick, and he owns the finest mansion in Greenville, S.C., but he’s busted, broke – broken-hearted. He’s sick, and he’s afraid he’s going to die in what for 20 years has been disgrace. I sat with 'Shoeless Joe' Jackson in the rickety grandstand as the Nats played the Tigers in Greenville. In disguised curiosity, players of the Detroit and Washington teams sauntered past to glimpse the man when his presence in the park was whispered about. They wanted a gander at the fellow their fathers had told them about. They stared at the man who, their Dad's had told them, could do more things better on a baseball field than any player who ever lived. They saw a stout, florid-faced, powerful-looking man of 53. I found him sitting with a doctor. Without his physician, he could not go to the ball game. The latest of his heart attacks occurred only two weeks ago. “It was only a little jolt,” he said, “but it’s got me scared.” He smiled when he said it, and he didn’t look scared. Neither was there a scare only resignation, to his tone when he continued: “I don’t think I’ll last long, now.” How to begin, how to ask a man like that about the tragedy in his life – the fixed World Series of 1919 that brought his banishment from baseball. He saved me the trouble. He was anticipating me. He said, “I know what you’re going to ask me. It’s what they all ask me when they get their nerve up. Well, Sonny, I’m as innocent as you are. I had no part in that fix in 1919.” How now to draw him out? Was he bitter toward baseball, I asked. Did he have any resentment toward the game that had thrown him out? “No,” he said, curtly. “Not bitter toward baseball. I don’t care for Judge Landis.” He didn’t like Judge Landis? “No, he didn’t keep his bargain with me. He said if the courts declared me not guilty, he’d stand by me. That word wasn’t kept when the court acquitted me in the Black Sox trial. How can I like Judge Landis? The evidence in court showed that Buck Weaver and I were innocent. Even the fellows who were in on the fix testified that we had no part in it. My God, Sonny, did you ever look up the records of that World Series.” What about the records, Joe, I asked. “I can take you home and show them to you. The only three games the White Sox won in the series, Buck Weaver and I won for ‘em. Did you know that I made more hits – Twelve – than anybody in that series. And that it stood as a World Series record for total hits until 1930 when Pepper Martin got 13. Does that sound like I was laying down. My God, Sonny, all you have to do is look at the records.” Shirley Povich. Washington Post April 11, 1941. In my HOF!!!!

@noahdarling_ @Monty2740 Are you really a conference if your fans can’t get to the other schools on a tank of gas?

Good idea on paper, but then you’d have to make all of the conferences more-geographically focused. You’d risk losing classic rivalries like USC-Rutgers and Cal-Virginia.
Matt Grissom@mgrissom

Imagine if we had a conference specifically designed for west coast teams. Here’s how they’d be represented in our latest @CollegeBaseCNT Top 25 poll: 1. UCLA 13. USC 18. Oregon 20. Oregon State 23. Arizona State You could name it after the pacific coast.

No, not end of story, you missed his point. If it’s true the judge told him he’d follow suit with the court verdict, that’s his complaint. And it implies the greater crook wore a robe, not a jersey. The jury apparently could differentiate between taking money and taking adverse action, some people can’t.

@AdamHughes54 @Jimfrombaseball That is the unfortunate truth the myth of Joe Jackson leaves out. He TESTIFIED himself that he took money. So because he played well does not mean he is any less guilty than all the other banned players? He took the money. End of story.

Mississippi State Athletics
Mississippi State has been elevating in the current landscape of collegiate athletics and that trend is continuing. The latest step forward comes courtesy of the McPherson family. The McPhersons have gifted $1 million to the State Excellence Fund. 📰: hailst.at/4st7zAw

Okay, we’re going to put this thing to college baseball fans. We @CollegeBaseCNT have our signature RPROH feature stories on Chris Stratton, Alex Grammas (who also made @CoachRonPolk at MSU possible), and Buck Showalter ready to roll and bursting at the seams, when do you want to see them? We have our fingers on the button and our eyes upon the field!

@lounge_dawg Lounge, did you ever have Coleman’s BBQ? They had a location at Jackson Street and 182, where the dry cleaners is now. The chicken fried steak sandwich was my favorite, though.

Don’t ever compare the little dooey’s pulled pork sandwich to the standard pulled pork sandwich. Little dooey’s won’t see this because they have me blocked.

@Frances99809491 @shanepower21 Strange thing is, the team that lost missed two free throws immediately prior that would made it a four-point lead, rendering all that moot.
