The pitcher had a 22-year Major League Baseball career, during which he won the World Series twice (in 1918 and 1923).

Jones’ profession led him to major cities like Cleveland, Washingtоn, Boston, and Chicago, but he never forgot his small Ohio hometown of Woodsfield.

Jones’s little Colonial home, constructed that year, is currently on the market.

The home sheds light on the disparity between what baseball stars made before and after WWII.

This home has three bedrooms, one and a half bathrooms, and is listed for $189,000.

The hardwood floors and slate roof of the 2,900-square-foot home are original features.

Original cabinets and new worktops can be found in the kitchen, which is open to the dining area and spacious living room with gas fireplace.

There is a spacious garden and plenty of extra storage space in the basement and attic.

The washing room has a slop chute with “Sad Sam Jones” written on it.

New York Herald-Tribune writer Bill McGeehan gave Jones his famous moniker because he thought Jones looked dejected while playing.

The starting pitcher claimed, “I would always wear my cap down real low over my eyes,” explaining his perpetually glum expression.

They were used to guys like Waite Hoyt, who always wore their caps high so they wouldn’t miss any lovely chicks, so the sportswriters didn’t think anything of it.

Jones passed away in 1966 at age 73, only twenty days before celebrating his golden wedding anniversary.
