"Shoeless Joe Jackson died 57 years ago in the tiny, red-brick house on the edge of this city that he shared with his wife, Kate. It was in the 950-square-foot home that he endured the final 10 years of his life and the last of three decades banished from baseball for his role in fixing the 1919 World Series On Saturday, the house will reopen as the Shoeless Joe Jackson Baseball Museum and Library at 356 Field Street, the number an homage to his career batting average for the Philadelphia A’s , the Cleveland Naps turned Indians and the Chicago White Sox . “We want the museum to be ground zero for Joe’s election to the Hall of Fame,” said Arlene Marcley, the president of the museum’s foundation, its curator, publicist and, she adds, its painter and housecleaner too."
