Description

Shoeless Joe Jackson (Evil Joes Series 2of4)
Pen & Ink, Ink Wash
2010

Feeling cheated by his penny-pinching owner, this Evil Joe and seven of his teammates on the 1919 Chicago White Sox baseball team made agreements with gamblers to fix the world series, so that their opponents, the much weaker Cincinnati Reds would win the World Series that year. When the fix was finally revealed and made known to the public, the selfish actions of this Joe, not only broke the heart of hero-worshiping boys all over America, it nearly ruined the nation's national past-time.
