The things this man saw in World War I caused him to do unspeakable things


Like play with ineligible players in independent games!

On this day in 1922, Joe Harris, formerly with the Cleveland Indians is reinstated by Commissioner Judge Landis for having played with and against ineligible players in independent games. "His service in France, where he was gassed after bitter fighting, caused him to do things he might not have done," said Landis in reinstating him.

There are many more casualties than those counted in the history books, you know.
