PLAYED BY Ray Liotta, left
MOVIE Field of Dreams (1989)
POSITION Left field
TEAM In life, the Chicago White Sox; afterward, the ghostly crew who play pick-up games in the Iowa cornfield owned by Ray Kinsella (Kevin Costner, right)
STATS Jackson was one of the game's great hitters, but he was barred from baseball after the Black Sox scandal (as depicted in Eight Men Out).
ACCURACY Jackson threw right-handed but batted southpaw. Liotta, however, bats righty in the movie.
MEMORABLE MOMENT Jackson tells his host, ''Man, I did love this game. I'd have played for food money. It was the game.... The sounds, the smells... Shoot, I'd play for nothing!''
MALE KLEENEX FACTOR 10 out of 10 hankies
EW GRADE B+
