Thanks for telling this story. My brother age 63 is named after Shoeless Joe and our last name is Jackson. My father loved baseball and his father actually played for a mill team in Pennsylvania in the 30’s. He was struck in the head during a game while at bat and died later that day from his injuries. This actually happened before my father was born. Tragic story but part of our family history. Thanks again Jordan.

I wish my late husband could view this. He would have loved it! The night before he passed he & our son got to watch their beloved Cubs win the World Series! Thanks for bringing me a bittersweet memory. ⚾️❤😢

Jordan thanks for the opportunity to find out more on the life of Shoeless Joe

I liked when he was portrayed in the movie Field Of Dreams

Joe Jackson & Pete Rose for the HOF. Joe has been seen playing just down the road from me in Dyersville, IA.

Great video, RIP Shoeless Joe❤😢

I found it interesting that there were 19 baseballs placed on his grave. The Black Sox scandal was the 1919 World Series so maybe it was done intentionally.

Thanks Jordan. I learned somethings I had not known before about Joe. I think he was used by the system

He deserves to be in the hall. Buck and him were stand up team mates ,they both could have snitched on their teammates but didn't hoping that maybe the guys would change there minds. The same man that band them from baseball from what I've heard also said that blacks would never play baseball in the majors also long as he was commissioner and he's in the hall of fame. I just dont understand

I can’t believe you were in Greenville, SC. My parents are buried in the same cemetery at Shoeless Joe. Wish I could have met you! You’re one of the best! Great video Jordan!

Brother, I greatly appreciate your love of baseball. Tommy Lasorda also played baseball around South Carolina. My dad watched Tommy pitch several games in Camden SC during the mid 50's.

What a shame he was tarnished with that brush. Thank you for introducing me to him. Your bat has definitely seen better days Jordan. ❤️Jodie 🇦🇺

Love your videos Jordan! My parents grew up just south of Greenville and my uncle told me stories of him getting to see Joe play ball for a mill team when he was a boy. He also told me about seeing him play after the scandal. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you Jordan this was great. My father told me about this man while we were watching Field of Dreams together. My grandfather was a coal miner and he also played ball on their team. That's back in this era when small towns had their own teams and would compete.my grandfather team was called the Barnsboro Allstars!

I saw the movie field of dreams it was a good movie shoeless Joe Jackson was a good ball player to bad he didn't get in the baseball hall of fame good vlog Jordan Vickie napa california

Thanks for this Jordan. I only knew what Field ofDreams told about him. He was definitely unfairly banned, but then I have always felt Pete Rose was unfairly banned as well.

Thank you Jordan for the beautiful presentation. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Very good book titled “Eight men out” by Eliot Asinof about the scandal and far more informative than the movie “Field of Dreams “

Jordan, You not only entertain me, you often times educate me as well! I found his history very interesting. Another awesome video! And thank you for Cinnamon Block 😊

Welcome to my hometown of Greenville! It was such a joy to see you do a story about Shoeless Joe. Hope you got a chance to see his statue and his house in our beautiful downtown area by the Greenville Drive stadium. I hope you enjoyed your visit! I love your videos!

That's my hometown! Sorry I missed your visit.

Jordan, I don’t know how many stories of so many people I’ve heard you tell but I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t know about most of them unless you were telling the story. Love the research you do and the empathy that always comes through, a reflection of the kind of person you are.

I have a replica of Jackson's Black Betsy bat it is so cool its 46 ozs and the handle is so thick I can't get my stingy fingers around it. I live in Burlington Iowa been a lifelong White Sox fan and read about Jackson in the early 80's. If I could go back in time and see baseball as it was played in the old days and what player would i want to see first I used to say I want to see Babe Ruth first but I want to see Joe Jackson I have this dream where I sit with my parents and grandparents and all my family from the past around me and we are at a game to watch the White Sox and Jackson do his thing that would be my field of dreams

As an attorney, I'm horrified and disgusted that any attorney would have a "signed" confession from an illiterate person. At best, this doesn't smell, it stinks to high heaven!

Enjoyed, Thanks for sharing, Jordan ,Jah 😊

Thank you for this lovely video. I hope Joe and Katie both rest in peace.

Jordan - love your love of BB History. Thanks for doing all these BB stories. Jackson did testify to a grand jury that he did take $5000 for the fix and his testimony , along with that of Cicotte & Williams conviently "disappeared" when the sox were put on trial in 1921. Chick Gandil who was a dirty player and who did fix games for $ was the leader of the fix. In fact, he cheated his teammates and kept the lion share of fix money for himself. He retired after the 1919 World Series. Finally, Jackson was able to successfully sue the White Sox & Charles Comisky for back pay. This is a great story with many implications - one of which "No Gambling" is keeping the greatest hitter Pete Rose out of the BBHOF. Did you tour Jackson's home/museum in Greenville?

❤ the baseball videos. Thanks again Jordan for another cool video.

Great video Jordan. Arguably one of the greatest ball players ever. He's a legend down here in the South . I believe Judge Landis acted unjustly in banning Shoeless Joe and Buck Weaver . Perhaps some of the others were guilty but Joe or Buck wanted no part of the fix as the story goes. They knew about it. And unfortunately they had to be treated as much as Chick Gandhill, Swede Riesberg. Who were the main culprits. I for one would love to see Buck and Joe reinstated in to Baseball. Long live Joe Jackson.

Many thanks Jordan - a really great tribute.

It's time for Costner to make another Baseball movie! Hey Kevin, get Joe in the Hall of Fame.

Recently watched Field Of Dreams 😊 how ironic haha thanks Jordan!

I am a White Sox fan because of Shoeless Joe, the only thing is he got paid, one of the few players that did get paid. I hope one day a commissioner will have the balls to reinstate him.

Phenomenal Baseball Player and I wish I could of seen him play.

Baseball has such a wonderful history!

Cool! One of my towns. My Grandpa knew Joe before and after the 1921 trial. Do Buck Weaver sometime. Or, all of them. 😎

Thank you for another great story

Watch Eight Men Out. Good book, too.

Didn’t know you would be out this way! Would have loved to say hi. Great channel.

DB Sweeney starred as Shoeless Joe in the movie Eight Men Out. It's a great movie.

Even before he got kicked out, Joe had a knack for making money, even if he was illiterate. He definitely was one of the greatest hitters ever.

Such an interesting story. Very sad that he was tricked into signing something he couldn’t read

Thanks for awesome video

I actually live in the hometown of shoeless joe jackson im hannibal mo ..hes very celebrated he has a shoeless joe jackson celebrity golf tournament an little league branch he has a painted mural aling with Samuel"mark twain" clemens and the voice of jiminy cricket ukelele ike

Joe was RailRoaded!! & Ty was the best hitter ever! JJ

Live feed and corresponding live with the patrons. Would be real nice ❤

Feel a dreams movie ⚾️ DVD 📀💖⭐️🎶 Joe Jackson Rlp 😇

Thanks for this Jordan. I always heard Joe and most of the others were innocent. Maybe 2 players were actually guilty 😔 Very sad indeed. 😢

A fabulous baseball player. TFS

His house is next to downtown Greenville ball field

Love the stories of old-time baseball. Thanks Jordan! Jeff/Boston

Really enjoy all your videos. I watch your over seas ones every night. Do you have to be a Patreon to get any of your merchandise ? Keep up the great work. Thank you very much for my trips.

Great vlog I love basdball

Very interesting, are you going to take us to the museum??

it is sad that he got banned and If I recall, if I'm wrong please tell me, that others said he didn't do anything to throw the series

New cleats... hurt his feet. Field of Dreams!!!

The seedy character you mentioned was Arnold Rothstein.

Jordan, I wish I had known you where in town Greenville SC, I would have loved to have had dinner with you. Maybe next time.

Kennesaw mountain Landis I beileve was from Darrtown near where i lived. Is President Johnson buried in that cemetery?

Cool story , and he died so young!

Surprised you being a Cincy Reds fan that you did'nt mention Pete Rose one of the all great players also banned from the Hall of Fame. Nice inside story on Jackson, thanks.

Joseph W. Jackson? I thought his name was Joseph Jefferson Jackson. Ill watch and see if I learn :)

Welcome to my neck of the woods

Keep the daag tune for all video

Cool that you're in Greenville. What did you think of the city?

Listening to this story, i'm thinking Michael Jackson's parents had the same names.

He is the third greatest hitter ever.

Go visit Hank Williams Jr grave

Why didn't the Astros get banned?

🫨🖐⚾️

thank you jordan!!!!! always from tacoma washington.....till the next one!
