We present on this page Joe's play by play for his plate appearances. We have listed for comparison purposes the box scores of Joe Jackson, Eddie Collins and Ray Schalk for each game. Folks that think Joe is guilty always point to his performance in games 1, 4 and 5. We suggest you look at the box scores of Eddie Collins and Ray Schalk for those same games, their performance in those games are poor as well. This suggests one of two things; one could say that Schalk and Collins were also in on the fix because their performance was poor in those games, a theory which we don't subscribe to. Instead we tend to think maybe it had something to do with the pitching in those games since Collins and Schalk also performed poorly. Again, this is baseball and many factors contribute to a man having a good game or a bad one. Joe Jackson was good, but he was not God, he did have bad days, just as Eddie Collins and Ray Schalk did.

* There were only 3 errors on plays relating to Joe's at bats. By looking at the chart above it appears there were 5 errors, the Virtual Hall of Fame has broken it down by the number of men on base (the first four rows of the chart) and then we further break it down to show you what base(s) the one man and the two men were on when the errors were committed.

There are many rumors out there about Joe's performance at the plate in the first 4 to 5 games. The naysayers out there would like you to believe that Joe only batted .243 for those first 4 to 5 games.......of course, we're not sure where those numbers come from....but we can tell you they are not fact. The table below is taken from the game by game box scores of all the 8 games of the 1919 World Series. It should be noted that Joe went 10 for 23 for a .435 average when his team was either leading or trailing by 3 or less runs (what we consider to be critical situations, where hits and runs can make the difference in a game being won or lost. We believe this fact shows that Joe did indeed hit in critical situations and not as the naysayers would have you believe "laid down at critical times". We give you a game by game at bat, hit and average and we give you a running total at bats, hits and average. What we have listed is considered to be fact, since it is from eye witnesses to the games as they happened...... The answer is pretty clear to us...............
