Joe Jackson
The penalty that was given, after the players were found guilty, was lifetime suspensions from professional baseball, and they were all banned from being inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame. The second penalty was not a big deal for all of the players, except for "Shoeless" Joe Jackson, because they really had no chance to make it to the Hall of Fame anyway. Sadly, "Shoeless" Joe Jackson was a Hall of Fame caliber player. Even the Splendid Splinter himself, Ted Williams, said, "Joe was banned for life by Judge Landis, and his life is over, so give the man his due place in baseball history." Later, he went on to say that many Hall of Fame players also support Joe's induction into the Hall.
