Major League Baseball won't reinstate "Shoeless" Joe Jackson despite an appeal from the former outfielder's museum nearly a century after the Black Sox Scandal. Commissioner Rob Manfred stated there isn't enough evidence to overturn the previous decisions.
The operators of the South Carolina-based museum sent two letters to the league's new chief executive earlier in the year. ESPN reported Tuesday Manfred sent a response dated July 20 and decided it "would not be appropriate for me to reopen this matter."
"The results of this work demonstrate to me that it is not possible now, over 95 years since those events took place and were considered by Commissioner Landis, to be certain enough of the truth to overrule Commissioner Landis' determinations," Manfred wrote.
