Timeline

1924

Jane Jeanette Jacobs [Badini] (June 16, 1924 – September 13, 2015) was an American pitcher who played from 1944 through 1947 in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League.

Listed at 5ft 4in, 130 lb., she batted and threw right-handed.

Jane Jacobs was not a hard thrower, but her underhand fastball fooled batters because she was basically a Curveball pitcher.

Jacobs hurled an in-curve, out-curve, upshoot and specially a drop ball, her better pitch.

Her most impressive start was having pitched a complete game-shutout one-hitter, but she fell victim to sidearm delivery when the league converted to it.

"Jake", as her teammates nicknamed her, was born in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, where she started playing softball at the age of 11.

1943

In 1943, she was spotted by a league's scout when she was 18, but did not sign until a year later.

1944

Jacobs entered the league in 1944 with the Racine Belles, playing for them two years.

1945

She did not have a winning season, even though she posted a 2.82 earned run average in 1945 and 2.86 in 1945, while compiling marks of 9–16 and 7–9, respectively.

The team had a surplus of talent, so she was loaned to the Peoria Redwings the next year.

1946

In 1946, according to the new AAGPBL rules of play, the pitchers were forced to switch gradually from underhand to sidearm delivery.

Jacobs made the transition, with no small effort, and led the Redwings pitchers with a 2.13 ERA, which was a career-high.

Though her success was not reflected in her 6–12 record due to poor run support.

1947

She returned to Racine in 1947, when the league adopted full sidearm pitching regulations.

This time she struggled to make the additional mandatory adjustment and went 2–6 with a 2.92 ERA.

1948

Then, for the third consecutive year the league set a new rule for a strictly overhand pitching in 1948.

It spelled the end of Jacobs' career.

I was afraid I'd ruin my arm, she explained with resignation.

In a four-year career, she was managed by Racine's Leo Murphy and Peoria's Bill Rodgers.

She finished with a 24–43 record and a 2.65 ERA in 88 pitching appearances.

Jacobs returned to her home of Ohio, where she operated her own dry cleaning business for 40 years.

1973

She married Mario Badini in 1973, and was widowed after 16 years of marriage.

1988

She is part of Women in Baseball, a permanent display based at the Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in Cooperstown, New York, which was unveiled in 1988 to honor the entire All-American Girls Professional Baseball League.

1994

Jane was diagnosed with cancer in 1994, but survived the surgery and the follow-up treatments.

After recuperating from cancer, she ran a ceramics business for a long time.

2009

Though she did not attend the ceremony, she traveled to Cooperstown in 2009 to see her name in the hall.

I will definitely be back, said the proud AAGPBL veteran.

The native of Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio made the long pilgrimage along with a niece, her husband and their two daughters.

She also extended her Cooperstown visit to the A. Bartlett Giamatti Research Center, where she both donated photos and clippings from her AAGPBL career and received copies of other photos from the Hall's archives.

She even helped identify some former teammates who were unidentified in old team photos.
