"Shoeless" Joe Jackson was one of baseball's greatest hitters and
most colorful players. Born on July 16, 1888, in Pickens County,
South Carolina, Jackson went to work in a textile mill when he was
around six years old, and got his start in baseball playing for the
Brandon Mill team at the age of 13 earning $2.50 a game. He emerged
as the star of the team and a favorite of fans, and moved up to
play in the Carolina Association, where he received his nickname
"Shoeless" because the blisters on his feet forced him to play in
stockings. He then made his move to the major leagues, signing on
with the Philadelphia Athletics and rising to fame. This work
chronicles Jackson's life from his poor beginnings to his
involvement in the scandal surrounding the 1919 World Series to his
life after baseball and his death December 5, 1951, with most of
the work focusing on his baseball career. This entry refers to the
LARGE PRINT edition. For the standard edition please see ISBN
978-0-7864-0978-5.
