Otto Albert Jacobs (April 19, 1889 – November 19, 1955) was a catcher in Major League Baseball. He played for the Chicago White Sox in 1918.[1]
Biography
Jacobs was born in Chicago, Illinois, and started his professional baseball career in 1910. He spent the next few years in the Illinois–Indiana–Iowa League.[2] In 1915, he joined the Rockford Wakes and had his best season, batting .302 and leading the league in home runs (7) and slugging percentage (.449).[3]
In 1918, with the Chicago White Sox roster depleted due to World War I, Jacobs joined the team as a backup catcher. He played in 29 games and batted .205.[1] Later that year, he played with a semi-pro team called the Joliet Standards.[4]
Jacobs died in 1955, at the age of 66.[1]
