Liked the movie but didn’t like the treatment of Joe Jackson. I’ve read everything about the Fix and he was in on it. He confessed and Hugh Fullerton and Christy Mathewson fingered him while the Series was being played. Yes, his average was good but he was just better at it. The defense of Jackson is that he was illiterate. So what? Illiteracy doesn’t excuse you from knowing right from wrong. He ran a liquor store in South Carolina so he wasn’t stupid. And I’m sure he wasn’t the only illiterate person in baseball at the time.
Burt Lancaster was so good in that movie. Nice to see one of my favorite actors go out on a high note. Many didn’t.
