Nineteen twenty was the last thunder. Shoeless Joe Jackson hit .382 for the White Sox with two hundred eighteen hits, twelve home runs, and one hundred twenty-one ribbies — a loud counting year from a left-handed swing that still owned the gaps. After that summer the big-league book closed on him. The three frames ahead keep the curtain counting, not the rumor.
