Welcome to the Shoeless Joe Jackson Virtual Hall of Fame, the Official web site of the Shoeless Joe Jackson Society.
This site is devoted to the memory of Shoeless Joe Jackson and the movement to persuade Major League Baseball to remove
Joe Jackson from their ineligible list, thereby making him eligible for election to the National Baseball Hall of Fame.
All that we ask is that you visit our site with an open mind. We have many facts and statistics about Joe within the Virtual Hall.
We don't even ask that you take our word for what is within our site, but that you get interested enough in Joe Jackson
to go and do the research.........to get the answer for
yourself. We feel sure that you will come to the same conclusion we did many years ago.
That conclusion is, Joe played his best in the World Series of 1919, he fielded to win, he batted to win, he ran the bases to win.
We admit, Joe did have some knowledge of the Fix, which he may have shared with his team, before and after the
Series. Based on his limited knowledge of the affair, we feel his punishment in perpetuity is unjust and our aim is to correct that.

bat "Black Betsy".
