In an article written by Dan Voelker, called “a fascinating piece of baseball journalism” by the Wall Street Journal, Voelker exposed the falsehoods that have been perpetuated for almost a century and essentially rewrote the history of the Black Sox scandal of 1919. Utilizing their amazing legal skills and experience in the art of cross-examination, Voelker proved to the world that what had been written about the scandal, “Shoeless” Joe Jackson and Charles Comiskey is just plain not true.
