Shoeless Joe (Original) - Rob Goldman

Was he a victim or villain? Shoeless Joe Jackson, one of baseball’s most enigmatic figures, continues to stir debate even decades after his departure from the game. Born into poverty in South Carolina, Jackson soared to fame in the early 1900’s as a natural hitting prodigy boasting an unmatched .356 lifetime batting average. However, his illustrious career spiraled into scandal during the infamous 1919 Black Sox scandal where eight players were found conspiring to fix the World Series. To this day Jackson’s name still stirs controversy, and his alleged involvement remains a contentious topic, overshadowing his immense talent and achievements. As debates linger, his extraordinary skills and the mystery of his story endure, leaving an indelible mark on baseball history. Over time, the plea, “Say it ain’t so, Joe,” supposedly shouted at Joe by a young fan outside a Chicago courthouse in 1920, has come to symbolize the century old cry directed at arguably the most storied and tragic figure in baseball history. Robert Goldman is a former college baseball player and was a California Angels bat boy from 1974-76. He is also a singer-songwriter, actor, and writer. His books include Nolan Ryan: The Making of a Pitcher, Once They Were Angels, A History of the Team, The Sisterhood, The 99ers and the Rise of Women’s Soccer.
