The story of "Shoeless" Joe Jackson and his White Sox teammates purportedly conspiring with gamblers to throw the 1919 World Series to the Cincinnati Reds has lingered in our collective consciousness for a century. Daniel A. Nathan's wide-ranging history looks at how journalists, historians, novelists, filmmakers, and baseball fans have represented and remembered the scandal. Nathan's reflections on what these different cultural narratives reveal about their creators and eras shape a fascinating study of cultural values, memory, and the ways people make meaning.
Daniel A. Nathan is the Douglas Family Chair in American Culture, History, and Literary and Interdisciplinary Studies at Skidmore College. He is the editor of Rooting for the Home Team: Sport, Community, and Identity and coeditor of Baseball Beyond Our Borders: An International Pastime.
