Many players from that Era says Hal Chase was the best 1st basement they had ever seen. Babe Ruth chose him over Gehrig (Im sure it had nothing to do with his jealousy of Gehrig). Prince Hal never gets spoken about due to his gambling dealings but from all accounts he was considered the best fielding 1st basemen ever

My vote is for jake daubert played 14 seasons with 2336 hits and .303 lifetime batting avg but died still being a very productive player. Outside of maybe hal chase he was the best 1st baseman in baseball during the deadball era but was considered as a trouble maker based on trying to unionize his fellow player.

I also think Paul Hines should be considered

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
