Batted 12 for 23 with no errors. That is a 532 batting average which is better than my Little League average at age 12.

Shoeless Joe Jackson: Career Stats

Not a big power hitter, pretty good fielding stats, 1772 hits, not a lot.

WAR (Wins over Replacement) is 62.1, comparable to Mike Trout today. Pretty sure he'd make it in the HOF.

Like to see Pete Rose get a shot too.

The information was interesting, but the video just seems to have been hastily thrown together with a bunch of modern times baseball action. A few pics of Joe, some other still shots.

The creator should have at least dug up some old b/w old timey baseball footage and used that.
