This was a real treat! I'm so happy that his life, career, and talent is commemorated and celebrated in this way. Being banned for life from something he loved so much and was so extraordinarily talented at is heartbreaking. I'm sure that somewhere Joe is smiling down at being remembered so fondly a hundred years later. Thank you for this.
I noticed that in the photo of him in front of his liquor store counter, the cash register showed a purchase of 40¢. Can you imagine being able to purchase anything for 4O¢ in a liquor store?!
I loved this video! Thank you for showing everyone my beautiful hometown of Greenville, SC! I enjoyed your video yesterday and I am glad you enjoyed your stay!
Sadly In 1951, Joe Jackson died of a massive heart attack a week before he was to appear on the Ed Sullivan television show. He was scheduled to receive a trophy honoring him for being inducted into the Cleveland Indians Baseball Hall of Fame. He was also to tell his side of the 1919 fix. Jordan thanks again for taking me to a place I have ALWAYS wanted to go but never did. Hopefully, one day MLB will re-instate Shoeless Joe, Buck Weaver, and Pete Rose (so he can take his rightful place in Cooperstown).
I grew up in Greenville. My husband and I bought our first house about 5 min from where the stadium is now. West Greenville used to be really rough. If you didn’t live there, you didn’t go there unless it was to the hospital. It’s nice to see that part of town getting some love.
I enjoyed this follow up from yesterday’s video. How can he be omitted from the hall of fame ? Look how much he is loved and admired. He is advertised and honoured all over the place. I’m actually peeved off about it, I hope they change their minds one day soon. Thank you Jordan. ❤️Jodie 🇦🇺
This was a terrific vlog. Although an overseas viewer, I read the novel 'Shoeless Joe' back in the early 90's and, of course, watched Field of Dreams. The idea his spirit visits the gift shop is a really uplifting thought. Many thanks Jordan.
I have 0 idea about baseball, it's history & greats but as a sporty person I have loved these videos on Joe Jackson. I really love how they've kept his memory alive and remember him.
The MLB has banned a number of great baseball players from the Hall of Fame because of gambling. Ironically the MLB is now in business with gambling. The MLB and NFL wants to add sports betting to every stadium. Shoeless Joe and Pete Rose should be forgiven and put in the Hall at this point.
I hope one day baseball comes to its senses and allows Shoeless Joe in the HoF. Look at how they honor this guy after his death and a century after the scandal. An injustice that should be reversed. If those owners just paid the players a decent wage the scandal would've never happened.
I always enjoy your vlogs. I had never heard of "Shoeless" Joe Jackson so it was it was very interesting to learn about him. The museum/house had so much memorabilia. Thanks Jordan and it's always a treat to see Jah.
I really enjoyed this. I didn't know much about Joe. Thank you for telling his story. It was very interesting. I bet Joe is moving things around in his store. Thanks again. You and Jah take care and be safe out there.
This is so cool! I've always been a fan of his, but I never knew that he batted left but threw right. That's how I always played when I was on my school team, of course I was NEVER a player of his caliber. Thanks for this, this is a real treat for any sports fan
Thanks ✌️ a lot ...when you hit the baseball ⚾️ - on sweet spot of bat - it's one of best experiences you can have as athlete ...especially when hit goes for a triple, or home run 🏃♂️ 😅
As a Greenville resident myself, Shoeless Joe Jackson does not get the reputation that he deserves. But anyways, glad you enjoyed visiting our city! If you ever decide to come back you could do a video on Chadwick Boseman in Anderson, SC!
So Jordan I’ve been a fan for a bit haven’t joined patreon yet but I think you nail everything exactly as I would and I love JAH he reminds me if our Cami. Anyway I’ve tried to get my husband into your blogs and this one did it. Thanks and BTW we live in Houston but I grew up in Tallahassee and your blog on the car museum… well I’ve been there several times but you pointed out stuff I’ve never seen.
My grandfather was a huge White Sox fan and Jackson was his hero. He was a streetcar conductor and if he got the line to and from Comiskey Park he would first ask the people what did Jackson do first? When the scandal broke and Jackson was involved it broke his heart and he never followed the White Sox or sports again. Cool place I would love to check that out someday
Nice statue very well done! I hate sports, but I love history, so I know a tiny bit about shoe less Jackson, granted I got most of my education from watching field of dreams. Excellent movie, I've seen it at least 3 times, I'll watch it at least,3 more times
I'm glad he is honored in his town. Too bad he has that black mark on his career, but seems like it really wasn't held against him other than not in hall of fame? Great job, Jordan!!
Thanks Jordan! What a great player this man was So sad they banished him from baseball! He must have pissed off the wrong person or something. My father never believed the story of gambling.
ANOTHER GOOD VIDEO MY FRIEND ! Its to bad what they did to him.. He ( as you know ) had one hell of a game , then to get blamed for throwing it. Sucks ! Almost like the Salem witch trials ! Only they didn't kill him. What they did was worse , ruined his life... THANK YOU FRANK FROM MONTANA.....
The "evidence" on Jackson wasn't his hitting or offensive, it was his defense. The "investigators" noticed that he committed an usual amount of errors, missed throws, and missed an unusual amount balls that he would've normally caught. I'm sure that can be explained with nerves, playing in an unfamiliar stadium, nursing an injury, and others that were on the take interfering with him. Ironic part is some of those on the take didn't even get paid. The smart players asked for cash up front. Other players took the fixers' word that they'd be paid after the Series, and never were. Another big problem was there was a good portion of players that were illiterate and were hustled every which way till Sunday, but didn't have a leg to stand on because they "signed" the contract or paperwork.
Mlb are hypocrites. They now have gambling involved and so do all the other sports. One day very soon they all will get in big trouble with gambling . What will they do with their Involved/ guilty players and employees? If they forgive them or punish lightly..there has to be a major movement for him and Buck Weaver . They already served the sentence of being banned for life. They're 7:16 dead .
We should start a petition to put Joe in the Hall of Fame

What a amazing story about shoeless Joe Jackson one of best baseball player ever
I enjoyed this follow up from yesterday’s video. How can he be omitted from the hall of fame ?
Look how much he is loved and admired. He is advertised and honoured all over the place.
I’m actually peeved off about it, I hope they change their minds one day soon.

This was great I enjoyed it so much. I learned a lot too. My kids still have the Shoeless Joe book from school, I will be reading it now!
I have 0 idea about baseball, it's history & greats but as a sporty person I have loved these videos on Joe Jackson. I really love how they've kept his memory alive and remember him.
Another great vlog on Shoeless Joe. He rightfully belongs in the Hall of Fame. And so does Pete Rose .
The MLB has banned a number of great baseball players from the Hall of Fame because of gambling. Ironically the MLB is now in business with gambling. The MLB and NFL wants to add sports betting to every stadium. Shoeless Joe and Pete Rose should be forgiven and put in the Hall at this point.
Totally agreed. Biggest hypocrisy by these 2 corporate slime ball elitists.
Really enjoyed this thank you for all your videos! Eight men out is a great movie, underrated. Looking forward to your next video!
I hope one day baseball comes to its senses and allows Shoeless Joe in the HoF. Look at how they honor this guy after his death and a century after the scandal. An injustice that should be reversed. If those owners just paid the players a decent wage the scandal would've never happened.

Good morning from Rock Hill, Sc!❤️
Use to live in clover s.c.
Enjoyed again, Jordan and Jah
I am not into baseball but i was familiar with his story. You told his story beautifully
Good job Jordan
As
Baseball the greatest game ever and my favorite sport
This is so cool! I've always been a fan of his, but I never knew that he batted left but threw right. That's how I always played when I was on my school team, of course I was NEVER a player of his caliber. Thanks for this, this is a real treat for any sports fan
Great vlog thanks for this follow up from yesterday
This is so high on my list of places to go! Thanks!!
Thanks ✌️ a lot ...when you hit the baseball ⚾️ - on sweet spot of bat - it's one of best experiences you can have as athlete ...especially when hit goes for a triple, or home run 🏃♂️ 😅
He was born and died in Greenville a simple man I love that!

the legend
Awesomeness. TFS
Very well done,!
another exceptional vlog.
I'm doing great! thank you Jordan! I feel like Shoeless Joe deserved better!!
My grandfather was a huge White Sox fan and Jackson was his hero. He was a streetcar conductor and if he got the line to and from Comiskey Park he would first ask the people what did Jackson do first? When the scandal broke and Jackson was involved it broke his heart and he never followed the White Sox or sports again. Cool place I would love to check that out someday
They fixed that field up nice, it didn't look that good when i was a kid lol. Great video!
Great video once again,
Great video jordan!!
Nice statue very well done! I hate sports, but I love history, so I know a tiny bit about shoe less Jackson, granted I got most of my education from watching field of dreams. Excellent movie, I've seen it at least 3 times, I'll watch it at least,3 more times
I'm doing great! I hope you are as well, Jordan!
Love Greenville SC
We got Two Shoeless Joe's Bar and grills in the Chicago land area.
thanks for this he died two years before I was born
Comiskey Park wasn't demolished until after the 1990 season..in fact they stalled and started in late winter early Spring 91 .
He should be taken off that list and let his spirit rest. I didn't know the story of shoeless Joe. Thanks for sharing
when I played softball I threw right and bated left, I'm just like Joe haha
Makes me laugh to think about what Ty Cobb said!!! Remember what Joe said about Ty in the movie!!!😂😂😂
I'm glad he is honored in his town. Too bad he has that black mark on his career, but seems like it really wasn't held against him other than not in hall of fame? Great job, Jordan!!
Thanks Jordan! What a great player this man was So sad they banished him from baseball! He must have pissed off the wrong person or something. My father never believed the story of gambling.
ANOTHER GOOD VIDEO MY FRIEND ! Its to bad what they did to him.. He ( as you know ) had one hell of a game , then to get blamed for throwing it. Sucks ! Almost like the Salem witch trials ! Only they didn't kill him. What they did was worse , ruined his life... THANK YOU FRANK FROM MONTANA.....
What is the name of your theme song and who sings it?
Wow welcome to the upstate of South Carolina buddy, im from Spartanburg.
The "evidence" on Jackson wasn't his hitting or offensive, it was his defense. The "investigators" noticed that he committed an usual amount of errors, missed throws, and missed an unusual amount balls that he would've normally caught. I'm sure that can be explained with nerves, playing in an unfamiliar stadium, nursing an injury, and others that were on the take interfering with him. Ironic part is some of those on the take didn't even get paid. The smart players asked for cash up front. Other players took the fixers' word that they'd be paid after the Series, and never were. Another big problem was there was a good portion of players that were illiterate and were hustled every which way till Sunday, but didn't have a leg to stand on because they "signed" the contract or paperwork.
👍👍
Jordan maybe some day some one will explain to my why so many singers and pro players were smokers
Surrounded by books you can't read - what a tragedy,!
He had a career world Series and never did anything to throw the Series!!! It breaks my heart. 😢😢😢 . He'd have played for food money!!!
Mlb are hypocrites. They now have gambling involved and so do all the other sports. One day very soon they all will get in big trouble with gambling . What will they do with their Involved/ guilty players and employees? If they forgive them or punish lightly..there has to be a major movement for him and Buck Weaver
. They already served the sentence of being banned for life. They're 7:16 dead .
That's a ridiculous batting average for any era.
I never knew he was illiterate?
HI JORDAN!! IM GOOD HERE IN TACOMA WASHINGTON...GOOD SEEING YOU AGAIN BUDDY!!
Does the statues grip on the bat look odd to anyone.
I'm assuming the statue is of his follow through, since he's looking up towards the outfield. If not, looks like they got the wrong hand on bottom.
@@MGrant-bj1dc yes.
