"Shoeless Joe and Ragtime Baseball"
 
Anyone read this particular book??

The author is Harvey Frommer..

I really enjoyed reading this book as it gave excellent insight into the life of Joe Jackson.

At the end of the book it even has the Grand Jury Testimony of Joe Jackson...

Great read IMO

Yes, I have read Mr. Frommer's book, I really enjoyed it. I especially liked the part where Joe hit a home run OVER the right field roof at the Polo Grounds, (1913).
