”Shoeless” Joe Jackson

More than 70 years after his death, "Shoeless" Joe Jackson is finally eligible for induction into the National Baseball Hall Of Fame. The legendary ballplayer was banned from the Major Leagues, 13 years into his career, for his role in the nefarious 1919 World Series scandal. On May 13th, 2025, MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred announced he would be officially removing Jackson from the sports ineligible list. With the stunning, historical amendment, Jackson who is considered one of the game's earliest superstars prior to his 1921 ban, will be given consideration by Hall Of Fame electors for the 2028 class. Notorious November rolls on as I give a deep character profile on the man, detailing his MLB journey from humble beginnings in Greenville, South Carolina, to his meteoric rise through the baseball universe and ultimately his demise. #ShoelessJoeJackson #GeorgeJackson #MarthaJackson #BrandonTextileMill #CharlieFerguson #TomSlouch #ConnieMack PhiladelphiaAthletics #ClevelandNaps #ChicagoWhiteSox #ChickGandil #EddieCollins #LeftyWilliams #EddieCicotte #RedFaber #BlackSox #1919WorldSeries
