Best Answer

Joe Jackson could neither read nor write. When he came up to the Philadelphia Athletics in 1908, manager Connie Mack offered to hire a tutor to teach Joe how to read and write. Jackson refused. This is true but his wife had a piece of paper with his name on it and he would copy it. When sombody asked for his autograph it would take about 15 min but it would be worth it.
