A definite YES for reinstating Joe Jackson and thereby
making him eligible for the Hall of Fame. All one has to 
do is look at his performance in the 1919 Series to see
that he did nothing to try to throw any games. Eliot Asinof's
"Eight Men Out" provides a very good history of the Black Sox 
Scandal and the various players parts in it. I believe some
of Jackson's descendant's (his son?) having been trying 
unsuccessfully to have him reinstated for some time.
