⚾️ #notyouraveragejoe 🧦 By age 7 Joe was working 12h shifts in the town textile mill as a “linthead”. At 13 he was put on the Brandon Mill baseball team, paying $2.50 a game on saturdays. The youngest on the roster he was initially a pitcher, until he broke a batters arm with a fastball. He was moved to the outfield because players wouldn’t face him on the mound. His ability to hit made him a celebrity around town. He was given his bat Black Betsy around 1902. Sometime around his barn storming he got new cleats which gave him blisters, so he played without them on at bat. Fan yelled over. “You shoeless, son of a gun you.” Connie Mack��s Athletics found him first in the Carolina league, but he waffled and was sent to Cleveland. His first year in the bigs, 1911, he hit .408 (2nd to Cobb!) had a .456obp. Still rookie records. Banned from baseball in 1921 for conspiring to throw the World Series. He hit .375 in the 1919 World Series. ➰ 1994 Upper Deck & @pbs Baseball A Film By @kenburnspbs N°29 Joe Jackson (1919) @whitesox . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #baseball #baseballcards #sportscards #vintagecards #moderncards #eightmenout #8menout #blackballed #shoelessjoejackson #shoeless #shoelessjoe #joe #joejackson #comiskey #krocfoundation #comiskeypark #whitesox #chicagowhitesox #southside #chicago #southcarolina #kenburnsbaseball #kenburns #pbs #mccards #mlb #blacksox #sox #upperdeck @mlb @generalmotors @baseballhall @mlbpa @mlbpaclubhouse @espn @jeffpassan (at Comiskey Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQhdbG1MUkT/?utm_medium=tumblr

⚾️ #notyouraveragejoe 💨 In 1912, the 13th game of a win streak, Smoky out dueled Walter Johnson 1-0, ending WJs own 16 game win streak. Blew out his shoulder in ‘13. Came back a hitter, hit .366 for Cleveland in ‘21.
