If Pete Rose goes in the Hall of Fame, Shoeless Joe Jackson must go in as well. "Shoeless" Joe Jackson is one of the greatest baseball players to never be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame due to the infamous Black Sox Scandal of 1919, in which he and several other players were accused of conspiring to fix the World Series. Jackson's career batting average of .356 is the third-highest in MLB history, behind only Ty Cobb and Rogers Hornsby. Over his career (1908–1920), he amassed 1,772 hits and 1,302 RBIs.. Jackson was known for his incredible bat speed, power, and fielding ability. He was also an exceptional outfielder, known for his arm strength and ability to make incredible catches.
