Art Jacobs

Art Jacobs was a professional baseball player born in 1902, who played a single game in Major League Baseball on June 18, 1939. His brief appearance in the big leagues is notable primarily for its rarity, as he recorded no hits, home runs, or runs batted in during his time on the field, finishing with a batting average of 0.0. With a career that spanned only one game, Jacobs' contribution to the sport was limited, yet he remains part of the rich tapestry of baseball history. Playing in an era defined by the late stages of the Great Depression and the build-up to World War II, Jacobs' fleeting presence in the league highlights the challenges many players faced during that time. The late 1930s were a transitional period for baseball, with teams beginning to integrate and new stars emerging. Despite the brevity of his career, Art Jacobs' name is etched in the annals of baseball as a reminder of the countless players who aspired to make their mark on the game.
