Shoeless” Joe Jackson, long the subject of movies and books as part of the Black Sox World Series scandal, is one of highest-profile players now eligible.

It was more than 100 years ago that Shoeless Joe Jackson was among eight Black Sox banned from baseball for throwing the 1919 World Series. It’s been more than 35 years since Pete Rose suffered the same fate after betting on the sport as a player and manager of the Cincinnati Reds in the mid-1980s.

Pete Rose and "Shoeless" Joe Jackson are now both eligible for baseball's Hall of Fame after their careers were tarnished by sports gambling scandals.
