Trump's leaning on the Commissioner of Baseball to get this done would be wrong, but since he's going after law firms he dislikes, which is even more wrong, why stop now? At least Schilling is a worthy cause.

Great post, with Paul's usual sifting and winnowing. My guess is that the case of Shoeless Joe will be reopened now that he's on the eligible list. From what I've read Jackson's involvement in throwing the world series has been disputed ever since Commissioner Kennesaw Mountain Landis banned him from baseball. Modern day commissioners have apparently refused to open the case on the ground that, with this remove in time, the case is a sleeping dog. I suspect there will be voices trying to rouse that dog.
