• Joe got his nickname 'Shoeless' when he was playing for Greenville. He bought a new pair of spikes which gave him blisters that hurt his feet so much, he took them off and played in his sock feet. It was the only game he ever played without his shoes, but he would forever be known as "Shoeless Joe," a nickname he did not like.
• Jackson, who played left field for most of his career, currently has the third highest career batting average. Babe Ruth claimed that he modeled his hitting technique after Jackson's.

Use this downloadable short form Stock Redemption Agreement template to redeem shares in a U.S. business corporation.

Stockholder Resignation

As part of the agreement, the stockholder will resign from any positions held as director and officer of the corporation upon the completion of the redemption.

Restriction on Future Stock Acquisition

The stockholder further agrees not to acquire additional shares of the corporation's stock for a specified period following redemption.
