Shoeless Joe Jackson and his teammates were white.
You've mentioned Pete Rose. He's white as well.

That’s all ancient history my friend.....and was baseball in a time when whites were the majority of players as well.
The NBA and NFL are dominated by black players.....and I suspect blacks will be most of, if not all of the people involved in these crimes.
Yep… corruption comes in all colors. It’s all about the ‘green’.
That from before negro players were in the major leagues.
Not saying what the White Sox players did back then was right, but those were different times, when ball players weren’t paid very much. They really didn’t start making big money until the Cardinals Curt Flood helped bring about free agency to players. Before then many players held second jobs to make ends meet. Players today don’t have that excuse.
Pete Rose grew up in Cincinnati-borders the south. He was black on the inside. Joe Morgan once said “he’s one of us”.
Joe Jackson? Don’t know. In them days blacks didn’t play for the big bucks. Neither did whites, contributing to the scandal.
