I'm almost POSITIVE this card features Shoeless Joe...

I also contacted the staff at Blackbestsy.com and here below is the reply I got from them this morning.

Hi Greg,

Thanks for your interest in Joe and for your comments about the card.

We showed the photo to our boss and Official Historian, Mike Nola and
he said there is no doubt in his mind, the photo is that of Joe
Jackson sliding into third. The hair style, the ears, the laugh
wrinkle (crease) on the left side of his face, the build....all give
it away.....it's Joe Jackson...end of debate!!! Mr Nola took the
photo into Photoshop and enhanced it as much as possible, he has no
doubts....it's Joe Jackson. If we were to dig into our archives, we
could probably tell you with some certainty the day the photo was
taken, but right now, we don't have that kind of time to research this
issue further.

Please do let us know if we can assist further in this matter.


I really enjoyed reading the play by play from 1911. That in itself made this entire process worthwhile. I really do not pay any attention to the game today so it was really nice being able to step back in time and get a see how some of the less prominent names in the game played such an important role in the games.

Still reading the articles and so far no other references have been made to any plays at 3rd involving Lord tagging out a runner.
