GEORGE ''BUCK'' WEAVER
PLAYED BY John Cusack
MOVIE Eight Men Out (1988)
POSITION Third base
TEAM The Chicago White Sox, whose 1919 lineup would be known after the scandal as the Black Sox
STATS When his team is accused of throwing the 1919 World Series, it's Weaver who most steadfastly maintains his innocence.
ACCURACY Could the real White Sox have been this obvious, making such blatant errors?
MEMORABLE MOMENT Watching an obscure outfielder at play, Weaver is asked if that could really be his disgraced teammate Shoeless Joe Jackson playing under an assumed name. ''Nah,'' he says, ''those fellas are all gone now.''
MALE KLEENEX FACTOR 10 out of 10 hankies (''Say it ain't so, Joe. Say it ain't so.'')
GRADE A-
