Did Shoeless Joe take the money but played lights out anyway? He committed no errors. Hit .375 for the series with 12 hits. How deeply was he even involved? I believe he did receive some money but said he was never involved in any meetings or discussions about the plan. MLB needs to revisit the whole ordeal and really take another indepth look at Shoeless Joe's involvement if they can take their focus away for two seconds from diversity, equity and trans Nuns. .
