You should ask the family if they know who this guy is, since the guy in the "Mark" photo has either the same mother or the same father as Shoeless Joe. It seems like too much of a coincidence for two guys that ugly to be playing Baseball at the same time, and in the same state no less.

How many of the family members actually met him before he died 54 years ago, or do they know him only from the same pictures that we see.

I think that the big floppy ears match up just fine, it is just that the images were taken from different angles. The nose is dead on, as are the eyebrows, bags under the eyes, cleft chin and even the lines below his cheeks. If it is not Joe, I feel sorry for the poor bastard who was unfortunate enough to be his twin.
