Home Educators Government Officials Medical Researchers ... Athletes Jackson, (Shoeless) Joe Shoeless Joe Jackson is best known to some as the young baseball player portrayed in the movie, Field of Dreams . He is also known as one of the players accused of throwing the 1919 World Series game because of a bet. It is said that his batting swing was so good, Babe Ruth tried to copy him, and that his fielding was so good, no one dared hit it to his side of the outfield. Born in 1889 in the small town of Brandon Mills, South Carolina, Jackson worked the cotton mills as a child instead of attending school. He played baseball for the cotton mill team, making a name for himself at an early age. After getting new spikes, his feet hurt so badly that he refused to play in any shoes; he played an entire game wearing only his socks on his feet. The manager of the Philadelphia Athletics saw young Jackson and signed him to the baseball team in 1908. However, he played very little, and in 1910, signed with the Cleveland Indians. For the next three years he led the league with base hits, and his batting averages always hung around the .400 mark. In 1915, he was traded to the Chicago White Sox with high hopes. The White Sox won the American League pennant in 1917 and in 1919 with the help of Jackson. They were heavily favored to win the World Series, but lost the nine game series 5-3. Soon after, talk of a fix circulated, and an investigation was launched. Although the investigation found Shoeless Joe and his teammates innocent, the commissioner of baseball, Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis, found the men guilty of intentionally throwing the 1919 World Series. Jackson and his teammates were banned from baseball forever. Until this day, Joe Jackson is not allowed in the Pro Baseball Hall of Fame.

He’s a rookie playing for Cleveland and he knows how to please a crowd: hit the ball. At the age of 23 he set the record for highest batting average by a rookie. Just two years later he will lead the American League in hits (197) and batting average (.551). O the glory days! Joe at bat! The crowd yelling, “Give ‘em Dixie! Give ‘em Dixie!” Just eight years later he will be shamed out of baseball, banned for life, denied a place in the baseball Hall of Fame. But, for some baseball fans Shoeless Joe Jackson (Joseph Jefferson Jackson) will always have a place in their field of dreams. There was a madness about the 1919 World Series. Joe Jackson’s team, the Chicago White Sox was playing against the Cincinnati Reds. Some say Jackson and seven other Chicago players took money to throw the game. Some say that many of the accused eight players did throw the game, but Jackson wasn’t in on it. There were arrests after the game and there was a trial. The eight were found not guilty, but they were punished anyway by being banned for life from baseball.

The argument is: What have Pete's personal shortcomings got to do with the fact that he had a great career on the field? If we are going to go that route, and accept that kind of reasoning, then the time is long overdue to induct Shoeless Joe Jackson into the Baseball Hall of Fame. After all, Shoeless Joe had a lifetime batting average more than 50 points higher than that of Pete Rose and 12 points higher than that of Ted Williams. Where Williams' highest batting average was .406, Shoeless Joe Jackson hit .408. And he is still not in Cooperstown.

91. Shoeless Joe's Will, Valuable Name On It Not For Sale, Court Says baseball legend Shoeless joe jackson s signature is among the most valuable inthe world so rare that the American Cancer Society and American Heart http://www.jondube.com/resume/charlotte/shoeless.html

Published Wednesday, September 3, 1997 Shoeless Joe's will, valuable name on it not for sale, court says By JONATHAN DUBE Staff Writer It's just a name, scrawled on an aging will, sitting in a county vault in Greenville, S.C. But it's worth more than the signatures of Beethoven and Babe Ruth combined. Baseball legend Shoeless Joe Jackson's signature is among the most valuable in the world so rare that the American Cancer Society and American Heart Association sued the county and state for possession of his will. The charities, beneficiaries of Jackson's estate, hoped to auction it for more than $100,000. But Tuesday they struck out, when the S.C. Supreme Court ruled that his will is a public record and should remain in a public repository. ``Now nobody's going to benefit from the will's existence,'' said Leo Bell, 70, a friend of Jackson's and the charities' attorney. But Ken Woodington, who argued the state's case, said the ruling preserves the integrity of South Carolina's historical records. ``If they had ruled the other way, historical records would be virtually destroyed, as collectors and family members come and strip the vaults for their ancestors' stuff,'' he said.

Your question is legitimate. I wrote the Rose/Jackson piece in December of 1999, and I can't imagine why I would purposely keep Jackson's performance out of the equation. Jackson batted .375 with 12 hits in the eight games. He led the White Sox with six RBI and hit their only home run. Yet, in my opinion, looking at the full details of Jackson's performance in the 1919 Series would actually support my belief that Shoeless Joe played dishonestly. That cannot be said for every game, because it's been established that some or all of the White Sox played Game Six and Game Seven on the up-and-up. It should be noted that four of Jackson's hits occurred in those two contests, which means he was 8-for-28 (.286) in the "dishonest" games. This, of course, does not prove his guilt.

SHOELESS JOE JACKSON SHOELESS JOE JACKSON The glove of "Shoeless" Joe Jackson is described as "the place that triples go to die." His quick instincts and precise skill at measuring the angle of the ball as it traveled off the bat made Jackson perhaps the greatest fielder the game has ever seen. Unfortunately for "Shoeless" Joe, his .356 lifetime batting average and unmatched outfield prowess will forever be overshadowed by the "Black Sox" scandal of 1919. Over thirteen glorious seasons with the Athletics, Indians, and White Sox, Jackson led the league in triples eight times, batted over the .340 mark eight different times, and even hit .408 in the 1911 season. Unfortunately for Jackson and his followers, Major League Baseball and its commissioners have yet to reinstate him, barring the Hall of Fame Committee from placing "Shoeless" Joe in his rightful place in Cooperstown. SHOELESS JOE JACKSON HALL OF FAME Welcome to the Virtual Hall of Fame for Joseph Jefferson Jackson. On this site you will find interesting facts, about one of the greatest baseball players of all time. This site is devoted to the memory of Joe Jackson and the movement to help get Joe reinstated into baseball so that he may take his rightful place in the National Baseball Hall of Fame.
