"We're Shoeless on a shoestring!"

 What do Bloody Joes, RBI Shrimp Stir Fry, Ty Cobb Baseball Cake and Babe Ruth Bars have in common?

They're all recipes in the new SHOELESS JOE COOKBOOK featuring 250 recipes from Shoeless Joe fans across the country!  See sample recipe for Sloppy Joes on the cookbook order page.

Baseball fans don't live by hotdogs alone --- these are easy recipes even non-cooks can prepare and serve.  Shoeless Joe loved his fatback, eggs, grits, fried chicken, cornbread and biscuits, but he sure never had Glazed Pork Tenderloin or Tennessee White Chili.

Come on, folks, support the museum! 

It's all for just a $20 donation to the museum.

Great gift idea for the baseball fan who has everything.

IT WAS A GREAT WAY TO SPEND A SUMMER MORNING!

 

The Shoeless Joe Jackson Museum celebrated its 3^rd anniversary on Saturday, June 18, 2011, with several special events and special guests.  The festivities began with the dedication and unveiling of a beautiful state historical marker in front of Joe's house.  The monument to Joe was made possible through a generous donation by White Sox fans Mike and Lori Wallach of Chicago (and part-time residents of Greenville!).

The unveiling of the marker was followed by the dedication of the late Gene Carney's collection of baseball books and research documents.  Gene was widely recognized as the pre-eminent authority on the 1919 World Series scandal.  Gene's daughter, Mary Carney, represented the family at the dedication of the collection to the museum's library.  Jacob Pomrecke, Chairman of the SABR Black Sox Scandal Research Committee and a SABR staffer, spoke about Gene's acclaimed contribution to the continuing study of the Black Sox scandal.  Committee members generously donated money for shipping the books from NY to Greenville, plus an additional $800 for library improvements and equipment.
