Dan Wallach, Host

12 Years Old

Here I am standing in front of Shoeless Joe Jackson’s shoes at the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York in 1999.

Slightly Older

Waiting for my turn at bat during one of the Vintage Base Ball games against the Ty Cobb Museum, at Shoeless Joe Jackson Memorial Park in Greenville.

That’s my mom, Lori, in the background.

Miracle Mets

Chicago White Sox

I grew up during an exciting time to be a White Sox fan: the early- and mid-90s.

Freedom Trail

What good is going on a trip if you don’t write a detailed report on it after you come home?

Greenville Drive

Anthony Rizzo suited up for the Drive during the 2009 season. He went on to be pretty good at baseball.

Lifelong Friends

Moving Joe’s House

Richard Davis (seen here in the light blue polo) was the driving force behind the home’s move across Greenville in 2006.

The Yak-Zies Crew

I spent five years working here. Best wings in Chicago, without exaggeration. Tell them I sent you if you’re ever in Wrigleyville.

Ball Field At Pelzer Mill

I believe this is likely the first actual ball field where Joe Jackson ever played. I have a jar of dirt from here.

Joe’s Liquor Store

This is the business card that was in Joe’s wallet on the day he died.

Behind The Counter
