Who was joe Jackson?

"Shoeless" Joe Jackson debuted into the MLB in 1908 for the Oakland Athletics. Joe Jackson was a outfielder and is mostly remembered for the infamous "Black Sox Scandle" in 1920, making him quit baseball. Jackson got the nickname shoeless because when he was playing In a mill game in his hometown of South Carolina, he had these new pair of cletes and they made blisters on his feet forcing him to take his cletes off. Then a heckling fan yelled out "shoeless" and the nickname stuck forever. Jackson had 1,772 career hits with an unbelievable batting average of .356. There is a myth that when Jackson was blamed for the black sox Scandle that a kid came up to him and said "Say it ain't so Joe". Joe was a country boy. Born in Greenville, South Carolina.
