Default Joe Jackson Barnstorming Photo

Posted By: Rhys

There is a lot of evidence of Jackson in Ohio at this time playing for other company teams just like this one and sometimes it was publicized and sometimes it was not. He played under his real name sometimes in 1923 and under assumed names as well so Jackson got as much publicity as he wanted to get at this time.

People can think what they want of the photo, but as an attorney I could put on a much stronger case FOR this being Jackson than it not being Jackson based on the circumstantial evidence I have compiled on the team owner, where Jackson was at this time, the heights of the players, the other company teams he was playing for at this same time period etc. Like I said, people can think what they want but this item was shown to numerous people before it was even considered to be sold and the overwhelming consenus based on the info I had and the picture itself was that it was probably Jackson; and these were Jackson experts who would certainly know if it was not him.
