Bill Terry, his manager with the Giants, had cited Jackson as an example of a good fielding shortstop who won more games with his glove than was generally acknowledged. Jackson led the league in both assists and total chances per game in 1927, 1928, and 1929, and was the shortstop on the Sporting News' postseason all-star team in each of those years. He was a career .291 hitter even though he tended to turn away from the plate and hit to left, perhaps a legacy of a brutal collision with the centerfielder during his time in Little Rock, which left Jackson with a permanent scar and the centerfielder without his right eye. Jackson managed in the minor leagues for over two decades after his playing career ended. He died of Alzheimer's in 1987. == Sources == * {{cite-book| last=James |first=Bill |title=The Bill James Historical Baseball Abstract|city=New York|publisher=Vilard|year=1988}} * {{cite-book| last=Williams |first=Peter |title=When The Giants Were Giants|city=Chapel Hill|publisher=Algonquin Books|year=1994}}
