James Thomas "Jumbo" Elliott (October 22, 1900 – January 7, 1970) was an American professional baseball player.

He was a left-handed pitcher, playing in the major leagues over parts of ten seasons (1923, 1925, 1927–1934) with the St. Louis Browns, Brooklyn Robins, Philadelphia Phillies and Boston Braves.

His opponent was 6 ft 9 in (2.06 m) Clyde Lovellette, then retired from an extraordinary college and professional basketball career.

The campaign earned national notoriety because both candidates were such big men (Elliott was approximately 6 ft 3 in (1.91 m) and 235 lb (107 kg)[1]) and sports celebrities.
