I like that you named Jacobson and Williams. Add in Jack Tobin and you have the outfield that is vastly underrated because it's never mentioned. Years ago I got 8x10 photos of all three players, then my dad, who has done carpentry since he was a little kid, made this frame for me. He wanted to look like the dugout behind each player, and even threw some sand into the paint to give it that look (doesn't show up well in the photo). Notice the frame matches the dugout behind the players
