Meyers, John T. 1880 - 1971.
Biographical notes:
Jacob Ellsworth Daubert was born April 7th, 1884 in Shamokin, PA to Jacob and Sarah Daubert. At age eleven Jake entered the coalmines, working with his father and brothers. He was able to escape a life in the mines when he signed a contract with a semi-professional team in Lykens, PA. He started out as a pitcher as many ballplayers do but quickly was moved over to the first sack. Scout Larry Sutton of Brooklyn in the National League purchased his contract and brought him to the major leagues in 1910. Daubert was to remain in the big leagues until his death in 1924. Daubert was one of the most liked and respected players of his era. Daubert was selected posthumously to the Cincinnati Reds and Brooklyn Dodgers Halls of Fame.
