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.

The Will of "Shoeless" Joe Jackson "Shoeless" Joe Jackson, one of baseball's enduring icons, both a great player and a tragic figure following his ban from baseball as one of the Chicago "Black Sox," was known to be only marginally literate. His will and testament was the subject of litigation in 1995 when two charities who were beneficiaries of his wife's estate sued to gain possesion of the original, one of the few authentic examples of Jackson's signature for its value as a collectible. STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA COUNTY OF GREENVILLE WILL IN THE NAME OF GOD, AMEN: I, Joe Jackson, of the County and state aforesaid, being of sound and disposeing mind and memory, do make, publish and declare this as and for my last will and testament, hereby revokeing all letters or instruments of a testamentary character by me heretofore executed. ITEM ONE: It is my will that as soon after my death as possable my Executor, hereinafter named, shall pay all my just debts and expences of burial. ITEM TWO: I give, devise and bequeath all of my property of which I die possessed, both real and personal, wheresoever it may be, unto my beloved wife, Katie Jackson, for her to have and to use as she may see fit for her best interest.

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.

As part of the most infamous scandal in sports history, Jackson was banished from baseball following the 1920 season, along with his seven co-conspirators. The controversy over that decision has kept Jackson's name alive long after his death in 1951, but the facts remain the same: Jackson was guilty of accepting bribe money from gamblers to fix the series. As a player, Jackson was a left-handed hitter with a beautiful swing, which

What's next? A movement to place Richard Nixon's jowly mug on Mt. Rushmore? Listen...Joe Jackson accepted $5,000 from Chick Gandil and the gamblers who rigged the 1919 World Series. Re-read that last sentence. Let it sink in. It's true. It's not speculation. It's FACT. Joe Jackson and his wife both admitted to it. Jackson went to Charlie Comiskey and admitted such when his guilty conscience got the best of him. Jackson signed a confession. Jackson's teammates testified that Joe received the money. The money was never returned. Jackson asked manager Kid Gleason to keep him out of the lineup prior to the Series, knowing full-well what was going on. Any other questions? I know, people say he wasn't very bright and he couldn't read or write. He could hit the hell out of the ball. He had a rifle arm. His glove was the resting place for many a would-be double. He hit .400 and Babe Ruth copied his swing.

O'Grady Says . . . If you build it, we will come Shoeless Joe Field of Dreams , the silver-screen adaptation of Shoeless Joe Eight Men Out fame. Jim Baker, a researcher for The Bill James Historical Baseball Abstract has this to say: These two men had even more in common than Waterloo and Watergate. First, obviously, is their names, Schalk and Schang. They appear on the same page of the Macmillan Encyclopedia. Second, both were catchers in the American League at the same time. Schalk came up in 1912 and played until 1929; Schang came up in 1913 and lasted until 1931. They finished with 5,306 at bats apiece, which must have taken years of planning. For his part, Wally Schang has the additional distinction of being the last major league ballplayer before Reggie Jackson in 1972 to sport a mustache. As Ray Kinsella asks in Shoeless Joe : "are there ever coincidences?" Chicago Sun-Times was asked what he thought of Thomas Boswell of the Washington Post is Director of Irish Studies at the University of Massachusetts-Boston. O'Grady Says . . .

Does it matter? Should cheaters be rewarded? Punished? Gaylord Perry put everything but Grey Poupon and grilled onions on a baseball to gain an advantage over a hitter. He cheated, and he's in the Hall of Fame. As far as I can tell, Pete Rose didn't cheat on the field. He played hard, relentlessly and by the book. But the evidence indicates he bet on baseball games when he managed the Cincinnati Reds. This makes him a pariah, whereas Gaylord Perry isn't. Why? Simple. When the Vaseline was working, Perry's breach of ethics helped his teams win. Rose's breach of ethics did no such thing, and it's possible the conflict of interest inherent in a manager's wagering could cause his own team to lose. In other words, it's OK to load up a pitch, cork a bat, fake a catch, expand the batter's box, feign an injury or deliberately cause one if it helps your side win. This is what "team players" do. But betting on baseball is dishonorable, a betrayal of the team's mission.

home personal stuff baseball my nine joe jackson - batting six Left Field I have left field pretty well covered with Shoeless Joe. No doubt one of the all time greats in the game of Baseball. His numbers speak for themselves. Ty Cobb said that Joe had the most natural swing he had ever seen. Joe said that he was taught how to hit from some confederate soldiers who learned in a union prison camp. A tragic event in the 1919 World Series keeps this great player out of the Hall of Fame. Commissioner Keneshaw Mountain Landis banned Joe from Major League Baseball for life following the 1919 Chicago Black Sox scandal in which players admitted, (Joe included) to conspiring with gamblers to throw the series. Despite the tragic events that be-felled one of Baseball's greatest players, I have him playing left field on my dream team. See Joe's stats here, and you can easily see why I have him playing Left and batting 6th. Let me know who you would have in left. Dream Team Next Player last updated

Shoeless Joe and Black Betsy By Phil Bildner ISBN 0689829132 Send this review to a friend Zachary's Ball By Matt Tavares Candlewick, $5.99 ISBN 0763617687 Send this review to a friend Taking kids straight to the plate REVIEW BY RON KAPLAN Baseball fans might think it a bit strange to make Joseph Jefferson Jackson the hero of a children's book. After all, "Shoeless Joe" was one of eight Chicago White Sox players banned for life for allegedly throwing the World Series in 1919. But in Shoeless Joe and Black Betsy, Phil Bildner looks beyond this transgression and concentrates on Jackson's metamorphosis into one of the greatest players of all time. Even the mighty Babe Ruth once expressed his awe, remarking how he patterned his swing after Jackson's. As legend has it, Joe earned the moniker "Shoeless" by doffing his brand-new, too-tight spikes to play in his stockinged feet. As with most lore of this type, there are several explanations, some of which might even be true. Shoeless Joe and Black Betsy is a tale of determination and success that kids can apply to everyday life: hard work will get you where you want to go. Bildner centers his story around Jackson's attempt to graduate from the minor leagues to the majors. Joe, despite his natural talent, has all sorts of trouble hitting the ball. He seeks the advice of his friend, Ol' Charlie, a master bat-maker, for help with his problem. Carefully following his counsel, the ballplayer has immediate success, but he falls back into a slump. He tries Charlie's various suggestions rubbing his bat with oil, rubbing it with a bone to help toughen the grain and make it stronger, even taking it to bed with him. The solution, however, finally comes down not to the piece of wood, but to Jackson's belief in his own abilities.
