How did "Shoeless" Joe Jackson get his nickname?

Joe got his nickname "Shoeless" when he was playing for the Greenville Club in 1908. Joe had bought a new pair of spikes and they wore blisters on his feet. The next game the blisters hurt Joe's feet so much, that he took off the spikes and played in his stocking feet. About the 7th inning, Joe hit a triple and was coming into third when some big palooka in the stands stood up and hollered, "You shoeless son of a gun." Although Joe had only played one game without his spikes he would forever be known as "Shoeless Joe," a nickname he preferred not to be called!
