Extractions: Dylan TizDawg 06-10-2002, 10:28 AM Well here's the way I see that whole situation. Jackson was a major part in the fixing of a world series, at that time the biggest platform for sports in the nation. I agree Shoeless Joe was a great player but when you compromise the integrity of the game, you don't deserve to play or be a hall of famer. I am a person who believes athletes shouldn't be excluded from having the responsibility to be model citizens or immune from the consequences of disgracing the sport they play. If you do the crime you must do the time, he needs to be held accountable regardless of if he was one of the greatest to ever play. It will hopefully serve as a lesson to others that you cannot get away with things of this matter and keep the sport from being corrupted.

Extractions: 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 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.

Extractions: d. Dec. 5, 1951 Career Batting Record Other Resources Because of his alleged involvement in the 1919 "Black Sox Scandal," Jackson is not in the Baseball Hall of Fame, though he belongs there on the basis of his playing skills. A left-handed hitting outfielder who threw right-handed, Jackson had brief appearances with the Philadelphia Athletics in 1908 and 1909, then was traded to the Cleveland Indians and played for them briefly in 1910 before becoming a starter the following season. A graceful outfielder with a strong throwing arm, Jackson was an exceptional hitter who never won a batting title even though he hit over .370 four times. In 1911, his first full season with Cleveland, he batted .408, yet finished second to Ty Cobb, who hit .420. Jackson led the league with 226 hits and 26 triples in 1912, when he batted .395 and was the league leader with 197 hits, 39 doubles, and a .551 slugging percentage in 1913, when he hit .373. After slipping to .338 in 1914, Jackson was traded to the Chicago White Sox during the 1915 season and he again led in triples with 21 in 1916. He hit .301 in the 1917 regular season and .304 in the World Series, scoring 4 runs and driving in 2 in Chicago's six-game victory over the New York Giants.

Extractions: Shoeless Joe Jackson The controversy surrounding the 1919 World Series is most confusing in regards to Shoeless Joe Jackson. The facts (the conspirators' recollections and Jackson's World Series statistics) indicate that Jackson had no involvement with the fix other than being aware that it was going on. "Shoeless Joe" Jackson was on his way to banned from the league. (CHS SDN 58463-A) Joe Jackson grew up in Greenville, South Carolina, a town where the men, women, and children worked in cotton mills. Mill life was rough and turnover in the work force was a constant problem for mill owners. The owners discovered that forming baseball teams helped hold their workers. Baseball helped stimulate a sense of community spirit. People of all ages showed up to cheer their favorite mill team and soon the Textile League was established. In 1902, at the age of thirteen, Jackson went to work sweeping floors in the same cotton mill where his father and brother worked. Before long the managers of the Brandon Mill team asked him to play ball. By the time he was sixteen, Jackson was the best-known player in the Textile League and a local hero. He was a natural ball player. He hit home runs, caught seemingly impossible high flies, and could throw the ball more than four hundred feet on the fly. The fans came to watch Jackson play and he never let them down.

Extractions: Say it ain't so, Joe. Those plaintive words were reportedly uttered by a young baseball fan outside a courthouse in Chicago to which 'Shoeless Joe' Jackson is said to have replied, 'It's so kid. It's so.' Even though that conversation never took place, it summed up the national disbelief that the Chicago White Sox - the best team in baseball - conspired to lose the 1919 World Series to benefit professional gamblers and themselves. As a result of the 'Chicago Black Sox Scandal' eight players including Jackson were banned for life from Major League Baseball. Did He Do It?

Joe Jackson's Career Batting Average of .356 is the third highest in baseball's history. "Say It Ain't So, Joe" According to Joe Jackson, the most famous line to emerge from the 1919 Black Sox Scandal was never actually spoken. A newspaper reported that as Jackson was walking through a crowded parking lot after the grand jury hearings, a small boy walked toward Joe and said, "Say it ain't so, Joe?" Joe was quoted as replying "Yes Kid, I'm afraid it is." Jackson said he left the courtroom, a deputy sheriff asked for a ride, the two got into the car together and left. No one else spoke to him. Black Betsy When Shoeless Joe Jackson was fifteen, Charlie Ferguson, a local bat maker, took a four-by-four timber of hickory and carved a thirty-six-inch, forty-eight-ounce bat. Charlie shaped that bat to fit Jackson's large and growing hands. Upon completion of the bat, it was pale white. Charlie knew Jackson liked black bats, so he coated it with several layers of tobacco juice. Jackson affectionately named his bat "Black Betsy." The grandstand crowds would yell down to Jackson: "Give 'em Black Betsy, Joe! Give 'em Black Betsy!"

Extractions: When the list of fifteen arrived via e-mail, there weren't many surprises. I guess I don't have an appreciation for the 1986 Mets, as I spent the entire year in a stone hut at 9,000 feet in the upper Rift Valley of Kenya. My parents clipped box scores and Sunday stats, but I received them two weeks after the fact. Aside from that team, it's easy to construct an immediate defense for the other fourteen. Two, though, caught my eye. The 1974 A's and 1975 Reds are obviously linked by their overlapping dynasties and World Series duel. The 1974 A's actually won fewer regular-season games than any A's team between 1971 and 1976. The 1975 Reds struggled to overcome a fine Red Sox team, while the 1976 Big Red Machine swept the Yankees as if they were so much dust. But both teams are representative of the great organizations that dominated the 1970's.

Shoeless Joe Jackson Society Recently, I had the pleasure of attending a baseball camp that included Ted Williams. When the subject of Joe came up, Ted expressed his views that he was one of the greatest players of all time. Joe was admired by Ty Cobb and Babe Ruth who modeled his swing after Joe's. Ted said that Joe was banned for life by Judge Landis and his life is over, so give the man his due place in baseball history. He said this view is held by many hall of fame players and that he and others are pushing to have Joe inducted into the HOF. "Regardless of the verdict of juries, no player that throws a ball game; no player that undertakes or promises to throw a ball game; no player that sits in conference with a bunch of crooked players and gamblers where the way and means of throwing games are planned and discussed and does not promptly tell his club about it, will ever play professional baseball".

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.
