This Week in the Miscarriage of Justice


(Do I have to say I have a lot to do? Could you just not count the posts?)

At any rate, eighty-seven years ago yesterday, assuming I click POST by midnight, Kenesaw Mountain Landis banned Buck Weaver and Shoeless Joe Jackson from baseball, despite the fact that they'd been acquitted of throwing the 1919 World Series by a court. According to Wikipedia and the local sportsguy who seems to have plagiarized it (this does not make me happy) he thought perception was more important than the truth. Good thing times change.

At least we'll always have Field of Dreams, not to mention Eight Men Out.
