Shoeless Joe's case is part of baseball's endless fodder for debate and analysis. Was he the best hitter of his era? Would he have led the White Sox to future World Series championships? Was his banishment the right thing to do for baseball? Or, was it a further stain on a game already sullied by a gambling scandal? In any case, all we have left is the historical record, which includes classic photography like this.

Published exclusively for SportsPosterWarehouse.com, this poster is a haunting tribute to the man made famous in modern times by fictional portrayals in the Hollywood films Eight Men Out and Field of Dreams. Taken during the heart of the Black Sox era, this is the signature image of Shoeless Joe the slugger, displaying his batting stance with "Black Betsy", his massive 36-inch, 48-ounce bat that he somehow drove powerfully through the hitting zone. A historic sepia-toned beauty from the early years of Major League Baseball, this is the perfect way to give your sports wall-of-fame a vintage, classic look! Printed from the original photographic plates, and complete with official MLB Properties serialized hologram, this is both a stunning piece for any baseball fan, and a valuable collector's item for years to come.
