Like some of you, I was introduced to Joe Jackson in the movie "Eight men out".
Joseph Jefferson Jackson was born in South Carolina on July 16, 1888. He broke with the old Philadelphia A's in 1910.
Overall, Jackson hit .356 with a .423 on base average. He left the game with 1772 hits in 1332 games, or an amazing 1.33 hits per game!
We remember "Shoeless Joe" for the White Sox scandal, or the year that Chicago allegedly threw the Series against Cincinatti.
A sad ending. He could have been one of the greatest hitters of all time!
