Sobre IBD

 A Man Called Shoeless relates the life story of Joe Jackson, one of the most controversial, enigmatic and interesting characters in American popular culture. A story based on exhaustive research presented through the medium of fictionalized dialogue, the entire trajectory of his life is told through a broad tapestry of voices--family, friends, rivals, players, officials, fans, critics. From illiterate mill hand to baseball legend, to his fall from grace, his story is told by Joe himself, those he knew, and those who knew him.
