Customer Reviews

A very well-written, interesting historical biography

This book was excellently written and offers an interesting, soberly reported and poignant look into baseball, corruption, the South, the textile industry, natural born talent, innocence vs. greed and America in general. This is why the author has been invited onto many radio and TV stations and featured in magazines re: this book. Just because an account of a historical event- like the author's here- goes against the prevailing old, easily accepted version, doesn't mean it's wrong or "defensive" writing. There are VERY compelling reasons to believe that Joe Jackson was A.) set-up and sacrificed on the altar of baseball in the Black Sox scandal, and B.) belongs in the Hall of Fame. Read it and find out for yourself.
