Default Joe Jackson Barnstorming Photo

Posted By: Daniel Bretta

I still think it's Jackson as well. Someone emailed me last night and said that there was no way that the photo had Lefty Williams in it either because the guy who is purported to be Williams in the photo has an earlobe and there are no known photos of Williams that show he has an earlobe. If anyone out there has a copy of Eight Men Out by Asinof there is a Brace photo in the book that clearly shows Lefty Williams has an earlobe. I seriously think there are so many things going for this photo to be genuine that it would be a statistical oddity to have four men on the same team who all resemble former major leaguers.
