It is now known that Shoeless Joe Jackson refused the $5, 000 bribe on two separate occasions. Additionally, Joe Jackson attempted to inform Charles Comiskey, the “overly frugal” owner of the White Sox, about the fix. However, Comiskey declined to meet with Joe Jackson.

Still goes on in today's sports world...believe it or not.

1919 White Sox are one of the most famous teams in MLB history. There's the '27 Yankees and the '61 Yankees and then? Maybe the Big Red Machine, Oakland A's teams in the 70s, but after that?
Everybody's heard of the 1919 Chicago White Sox. Without the Scandal nobody would have ever heard of them except for maybe Shoeless Joe Jackson. Thanks Arnold
