I had never heard of Joe Adcock.

Had to chuckle. Just gave your age group away. I tell young guys all the time about Billy Joe, as his friends called him. Regretfully I wasn't an acquaintance, however a young man that I worked with many years ago was a relation of his. That's how I found out, that Joe became an avid Thoroughbred race horse owner and trainer once his playing days were done. He died a gentlemen farmer, loved by all who knew him. Though a rather long and lanky fellow in his hey-day, he could clobber the horse-hide off of a baseball.
