What are good books to read about Joe Jackson??
See Books About Joe Jackson. We recommend “Say it ain’t so, Joe” by Donald Gropman and “Growing Up With ‘Shoeless Joe'” by Joe Thompson as sources of information about Joe. We recommend “Eight Men Out” by Eliot Asinof as a source for information about the 1919 World Series. The best overall book on the scandal to date is “Burying the Black Sox” by Gene Carney. Carney did his research into the subject and this book is the result of that research. The book gives us a background on the fix and subsequent attempt by White Sox owner Charles Comiskey to sweep the fix under the carpet.
