In 1912 long before Landis Cobb attacked a fan in the stands and was suspended The fan was indeed handicapped but he was also hurling vile words at Cobb who wouldn t put up with it His teammates went on a one day strike then came back when told they would be banned from baseball if they didn t Cobb did not escape suspension he served it The allegations against Cobb and Speaker in the mid 1920s came from another ballplayer about a game several years earlier It was that one player s word against theirs hence insufficient evidence Landis didn t hesitate to punch out the big stars like Ruth when it seemed warranted The stats for Jackson in the 19 Series don t suggest he did anything much to help his team win I don t know that he denied throwing the Series some sources claim that But did he keep the money Far as I know he did There is a rule that banned players can t be in the Hall because their actions are ON THE FIELD and are a stain on the game
