Baby Doll Jacobson had quite a career. He is often overlooked as his career coincided with the rise in overall offense, but in reality he started during an era when hitting was at a premium and only dipped into the lively ball era at the end of his career. He posted some monster numbers between 1919-1924 and finished with a career average of .311. Taken by photographer Charles Conlon and stamped on the back with his handwritten notes as well, this captures Jacobson at the ballpark in his new uniform as a member of the Boston Red Sox. Condition and quality are outstanding with this one grading a perfect 10/10! Charles Conlon (1886-1945) was America's first sports photo-journalist. In the primitive days of photography, he lugged his camera to the ballpark to capture the heroes of the game in their natural setting and paved the way for a new genre of photography. His work encompassed four decades and he became a true master of his craft. His images range from aging 19th century stars through the golden age of the game and most of the iconic baseball photographs of the early 20th century originate from the camera of Conlon. Due to the nature of his employment, images from Conlon are quite rare to find. We are proud to offer at this time over 400 images from the master himself, Charles Conlon many of which have never been offered to the public before!
