On this special bonus episode, Dan Wallach discusses Shoeless Joe Jackson's complicated history with the National Baseball Hall of Fame, and Joe's path to possibly receiving a plaque in the future. Then Dan plays excerpts from a conversation he had in 2021 with a former neighbor of Joe and Katie Jackson's, who tells the story of how Joe Jackson saved her life one day in 1942.
