Shoeless and Gloveless
Posted: January 1st, 2011, 4:19 pmAs we all probably know, Baseball's Hall of Fame has made mistakes on its equipment before, i.e. the handball glove which the Hall had on display and featured in a book, that was claimed to be a before turn of the century baseball glove.
Now we have this. Just wondering who the hall will turn to in authenticating a Joe Jackson game glove.>>
Fans of Shoeless Joe Jackson felt some consolation that his jersey, baseball glove and bat were in the Baseball Hall of Fame even if he couldn’t be named a Hall of Famer.
But last week the Hall of Fame announced what some baseball researchers already knew: the jersey is fake. The glove has been taken off display for authentication.
