He has shoes?

I was just thinking about the shoes in this picture and comparing them to today's pro baseball shoes.

Probably custom made though in the age where shoemakers still existed.

And for those interested in how he got the nickname:

According to Jackson, he got his nickname during a mill game played in Greenville, South Carolina. Jackson had blisters on his foot from a new pair of cleats, which hurt so much that he took his shoes off before he was at bat. wiki
