Librarian Downplays Lawyers' Efforts to Exonerate "Shoeless Joe" Jackson

Link to September 12 nj.com article, "Campaign to exonerate Shoeless Joe Jackson".

Excerpt: National Baseball Hall of Fame librarian Jim Gates said several researchers who have examined the papers have said nothing to suggest they will clear Jackson, who died in 1951. And at the Chicago History Museum, which purchased the documents from Asinof's estate after his death in 2008, curator Peter Alter said there's no "smoking gun" that exonerates Jackson.
