On the main page it states that Roy Hobbs is offered a bribe in the book, but not in the film. Having just watched the film again he is offered a bribe. There is a scene in which he returns the money $15,000. PeterM88 ( talk) 19:31, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

Are you sure Jackson was not included in the ban? This article says otherwise: http://www.shoelessjoejackson.com/about/biography.html 67.45.113.113 ( talk) 20:36, 8 January 2016 (UTC)
I just made an edit about Jackson being buried at Woodlawn Memorial Park in Greenville, S.C. I think most readers will make the correct assumption; however, since Woodlawn Memorial Park Cemetery in Nashville, TN, is a very well-known cemetery where dozens of famous people are buried, I thought it would be helpful to make the distinction.

Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:Shoeless Joe Jackson by Conlon, 1913.jpeg will be appearing as picture of the day on March 31, 2020. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2020-03-31. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page so Wikipedia doesn't look bad. :) Thanks!

The second paragraph of the Nickname section contains information which is clearly relevant. However, it contains a lot of unrelated information, contradicts the first paragraph (which is well-sourced and clearly written), and I was unable to find any source matching its one citation. What is the rationale for keeping the second paragraph? Perhaps the directly relevant parts of the second paragraph could be properly sourced and then incorporated into the first?

As of this year, Major a league baseball recognizes the stats of the Negro Leagues. This moves Josh Gibson ahead of Rogers Hornsby and Joe Jackson, but behind Ty Cobb.

This is way too long. Wow. Someone PLEASE shorten it and move the material below. Republicanblake ( talk) 06:25, 10 June 2022 (UTC)
Jackson was inducted when the team was known as the Indians. Doesn't matter if the team was renamed. Therefore he is a member of the Indians Hall of Fame, since no new members were inducted as Guardians All members were inducted as Indians. Brotherbenz ( talk) 16:33, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
