Shoeless Joe
Great postcard Jay, amazing. Being a huge Jackson fan really been enjoying this ongoing thread, keep them coming. Anyway, love historic pieces especially tied to a precise moment. August 1`st 1920 less than 2 months away from Joe being banished and Babe`s 1`st season with N Y. Overflow crowd to see these 2 greats going at it, so much so, there`s 15 feet of spectators standing across the outfield roped off from players. Babe hits a shot into left, Jackson basically disappears into said crowd then reappears with the ball. Babe called out and of course blows a gasket. Enclosed is the game`s program, interestingly Ruth scored as 0 for 4, and the protest letter NY sent to league president Ban Johnson. If you`d like to read details, really cool about the play, tap the letter to super impose.
