The Star is part of NewspaperArchive, but only in the public domain era (pre-1923). I searched NewspaperArchive, GenealogyBank and Ancestry, and the image I posted is the clearest newspaper photo available. I do have three other sliding photos from the regular season, but his face is obscured in all three.
Jackson did receive quite a bit of press coverage during 1967, but most of it was related to his Southern League-record 17 triples for Birmingham that year, and the accompanying photos showed him in Birmingham or ASU gear.
