'''Joseph Jefferson “Shoeless Joe” Jackson''' (July 16, 1887 – December 5, 1951), a baseball player banned for his unproven connection to the [[Black Sox Scandal]] in professional baseball, was the finest natural hitter Babe Ruth ever saw, and Ruth imitated him. Far from "throwing" the 1919 World Series to the other team, Jackson put in a record-setting performance that was as flawless as practically possible.
Shoeless Joe was the victim of judicial activism and collusion by owners. He was acquitted at trial, but without doing any investigation Commissioner Landis made him the scapegoat for misconduct by others.
