SHOELESS JOE JACKSON'S VIRTUAL HALL OF FAME

No word whether it was a strange voice that compelled Mike Nola to build this page. Shoeless Joe, for those of you who missed Field of Dreams, was a fantastic outfielder for the Chicago White Sox in the early part of the century. He was also, we found out here, prone to the stereotypical superstitions of ball players (he believed "hairpins brought him good luck and he would pick them up wherever he saw them"). Joe was convicted of conspiring to throw the World Series and subsequently banished from baseball. Many maintain his innocence and feel that he should be in the Hall of Fame.
