Tony Jacobs

Anthony Robert Jacobs (August 5, 1925 – December 21, 1980) was an American professional baseball player.

The 5 ft 9 in (1.75 m), 150 lb (68 kg) right-handed pitcher appeared in two Major League Baseball games, one for the 1948 Chicago Cubs and one for the 1955 St. Louis Cardinals.

[1] Jacobs' first Major League trial came at the age of 23 when the Cubs recalled him from their Class A Des Moines Bruins affiliate at the end of the 1948 season.

In his September 19 debut, he pitched two innings in relief during an 8–1 loss to the Brooklyn Dodgers at Ebbets Field and gave up one run, on a home run to Gene Hermanski; however, he went on to strike out two future Hall of Famers: Roy Campanella and Pee Wee Reese.

In four MLB innings pitched, he gave up nine hits and five earned runs, walking one and striking out three.
