Bates/Parker: This Week in Baseball History podcast: The Black Sox lose their appeals
From SABR members Mike Bates and Bill Parker at This Week in Baseball History podcast on January 16, 2019:
The story of the Black Sox didn’t end in 1919, as returning guest Jacob Pomrenke (@buckweaver) reminds us this week, 97 years and 87 years, respectively, after Buck Weaver and Shoeless Joe Jackson applied for reinstatement to Major League Baseball. Mike and Bill find out what happened with those appeals, how the Sox kept trying to get back into the game, and what SABR has in store for the 100th anniversary of the most infamous team in history. Also, we bid farewell to Yankees great Mel Stottlemyre.
