Shoeless Joe Jackson

Shoeless Joe Jackson was a talented American baseball player in the early 20th century, known for his exceptional batting skills and fielding. He played for the Chicago White Sox and was considered one of the best hitters of his era. However, his career is famously linked to the 1919 Black Sox Scandal, where eight players, including Jackson, were accused of conspiring to fix the World Series for gambling profit. Jackson was ultimately banned from Major League Baseball, a decision that remains controversial. Despite his ban, he is remembered as one of the greatest players in baseball history, and his story highlights issues of integrity and fairness in sports.
