The Natural is very loosely based on "Shoeless Joe Jackson". That being said, The Natural, is a fictional account of "Roy Hobbs", Shoeless Joe was a part of the "Black Sox Scandal" and never shot.

His name in the movie was Roy Hobbs. He was a fictional character. The movie was not filmed in Wrigley Field. The stadium in the movie was a WEAK replication of Wrigley.
