After playing a handful of games with the Detroit Tigers, Jacobson made his debut with the Browns in 1915 but toiled back in the minors for the entirety of the 1916 season. He came back to the bigs in 1917, where he was the Browns' starting Centerfielder, but he sat out the entire 1918 season, as he enlisted in the U.S. Military during World War I. Jacobson came back for 1919 and would embark on the best stretch of his career.
Jacobson had seven straight .300 years, with two of his years (1920 & 1921) seeing the Outfielder go above .350. He would have over 210 Hits in both over those years. 1920 and 1922 also would see Jacobson reach over 100 RBIs. He left St. Louis when he was traded to the Athletics during the 1926 season.
Overall, Jacobson would accumulate 1,508 Hits with a nice Batting Average of .317.
