===Nickname=== In an interview published in the October 1949 edition of [[Sport (US magazine)|''Sport'']] magazine, Jackson recalled that he got his nickname during a mill game played in [[Greenville, South Carolina]]. Jackson had blisters on his foot from a new pair of [[Cleat (shoe)|cleats]], which hurt so much that he took his shoes off before he was [[at bat]]. As play continued, a heckling fan noticed Jackson running to third base in his socks and shouted, "You shoeless [[son of a gun]], you!" and the resulting nickname "Shoeless Joe" stuck with him throughout the remainder of his life.<ref name="joebio">{{cite web |title=Chicago Historical Society |work=chicagohs.com |url=http://www.chicagohs.org/history/blacksox/joe1.html |access-date=December 11, 2006 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130320092029/http://www.chicagohs.org/history/blacksox/joe1.html |archive-date=March 20, 2013}}</ref><ref>{{cite book |title=Shoeless Joe and Ragtime Baseball |isbn=9781630760090|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=c3U1DQAAQBAJ|access-date=January 7, 2019|last1=Frommer|first1=Harvey|date=October 2016|publisher=Rowman & Littlefield }}</ref>
