We are thrilled to announce the first ever Joe Jackson Card Art Set! The 20-card set comes in a hand-numbered box and will be limited to 356, in honor of Joe's lifetime batting average. Proceeds will go toward furthering our efforts to promote literacy. shoelessjoejacksonmuseum.bigcartel.com/category/cards

If he were smart, he'd have just taken them off.

See this was the problem all along. The 8th inning shoes were too tight.

DKS has a new look! Earlier this week, we replaced the chairback seats behind home plate with new green seats. #CUatDKS on Friday night to see the new seats! 🐾

Final reminder! Follow me and retweet this before 9:00 PM EDT tonight (Friday, April 1) and I'll pick three random winners—each will receive a Roberto Clemente @Topps card signed by the guy who painted it (me)!

On Wednesday, we placed Box 003 in our ongoing project to promote literacy in Joe's name. Who knows what the future may hold, but I hope you all have enjoyed the journey so far, learning about Joe's life and career. Your support has meant the world. shoelessjoejackson.org/literacy

If he's got an extra seat or two from League Park, we'd love to display it in our museum! We have a pair from Shibe Park where Joe played for the Athletics, and from Comiskey Park where he played with the White Sox, but nothing from Cleveland... yet 👀

ICYMI, Cleveland sports fans, who love memorabilia, check out our latest @SabolBrothers ep w/Sean Walsh. His massive stadium seat collection is unreal! He helped build FirstEnergy,tear down Municipal stadium & giant neon Wahoo sign. His take on why future FirstEnergy is murky⬇️👀

Here's a wild one: A statue in Lakeland is supposed to be Ty Cobb ... only there's so far no evidence it's actually Cobb. The "sculptor," Jim Davidson, is a name linked to knockoffs made in a Thai foundry. “It’s not him. It’s a frickin’ knockoff.” theathletic.com/3215359/2022/0…


Is there a definitive book on Willie Mays, the way The Big Fella by @janeleavy1 is for Ruth, or how Ty Cobb: A Terrible Beauty by @CharlesLeerhsen is for Cobb? In the comments, please leave similar books for other players. If you want to read about ____, you HAVE to read ____.


This is how a lot of people think Joe got his nickname. But, it's not.

.@ketel_marte4's shoe came off while running the bases yesterday and taught us the importance of the double-knot

Andrew Miller has visited our museum multiple times. Not just a great pitcher, but a really good dude who appreciates the history of the game. Every team should be so lucky to have a guy like that on their roster. Thanks for the memories, Andrew.

"He may retire and that means this whole offseason he still spent 16 hours on the phone a day, for us, for who’s next – that means a lot.” -- Adam Wainwright, a peer and teammate. stltoday.com/sports/basebal… @stltoday #stlcards
