Shoeless Joe begins ...

Welcome back! Lots to do as we begin our study of Shoeless Joe.

1919 + 1982 = Shoeless Joe

1. Jackie Robinson clip because yesterday was Jackie Robinson day in MLB (April 15, 1947 debut!). Inning 9, Chpt 5

2. Inning 3, Chpts 12 & 13 = 1919

3. Inning 9, Chpts 11, 12, 13 = early 1980s baseball

What was happening in America in 1982?

  • Recession
  • High unemployment (10.8%)
  • High inflation (13.5%)
  • Out of recession by 1984
