Buck Weaver
The most sympathetic of the eight. Weaver attended early meetings about the fix but is not known to have taken money, and he hit .324 in the Series while playing hard. Landis banned him anyway for "guilty knowledge" — sitting in on the conferences and not telling the club. He petitioned for reinstatement for the rest of his life and never got it. Acquitted by the 1921 jury; banned the next day with the others.
