What was the wording of Judge Landis ruling against the eight men??
Judge Landis’ official wording was as follows……it never mentions that Joe would be banned for life….it says he will never play professional baseball….which he never did…..he served his sentence without incident, he never protested or held any ill will against baseball or Judge Landis. ” Regardless of the verdict of juries, no player that throws a ball game; no player that undertakes or promises to throw a ball game; no player that sits in a conference with a bunch of crooked players and gamblers where the ways and means of throwing games are planned and discussed and does not promptly tell his club about it, will ever play professional baseball.” ” Of course, I don’t know that any of these men will apply for reinstatement, but if they do, the above are at least a few of the rules that will be enforced. Just keep in mind, regardless of the verdict of juries, baseball is entirely competent to protect itself against crooks, both inside and outside the game.
