Joe Jackson?..........

[tjb1952tjb]

I think I've seen some discussion as to whether or not this is a photo of Joe Jackson sliding. It appears on a vintage baseball card that does not cite his name. Here's a link to the photo, with description (the caption reads "April 23, 1915 League Park, Cleveland Jimmy Austin is playing 3rd base Geroge Hildebrand is umpire").

OH BOY!!!!!!! Here we go again

Harry Lord was playing third base in the previously discussed photo.

Yep, you're thinking of this thread, one of the classic Net54 threads.

Although it is not the same play, it is an interesting comparison photo. While not conclusive, it does show a similarity in the sliding style/technique. Perhaps a little more evidence that the T202 panel does indeed feature Shoeless Joe....

The very similar sliding styles in the two photos, the first being identified as Joe Jackson, is enought to convince me the T202 depiction IS indeed Joe Jackson.

Ah yes a valid point. Kevin. The same topics are NEVER discussed twice on Net54.

Maybe you and Andrew should find T205 and T206 threads to post on.

hey greg- not sure what your problem is, but it seems to me one freaking thread that lasted 3 weeks is enough for any subject.....

Anyone interested in buying PSA high-grade T206s with qualifiers?

Oops, wrong thread.

Just read the entire original thread on this topic--slightly shorter than War and Peace but significantly more entertaining and educational.
