It's hard to follow a mic drop, but I'll take a shot at it.
Opening Day April 17 1945 in Brooklyn, Jimmie gets his first hit with the Phillies coming in as a pinch hitter in the 7th, moving the runner (who eventually scored) to 3rd. https://sabr.org/gamesproj/game/apri...over-phillies/

Does anyone have an origin story for the Jimmy vs. Jimmie debacle?
How his name was spelled both ways (on cards), seemingly starting more as "Jimmy" but then transitioning into the finality of "Jimmie" over time? Jimmy/Jimmie is a nickname. Specifically, a diminutive form of the name James, so it's not actually his legal name and therefore has no 'correct' spelling. (It reminds me of a girl I knew named Patricia who everyone called Patty...but when I wrote her name down that way she got got mad and said, "I spell my name with an 'i' at the end!") Did he simply prefer the 'ie' spelling over the more common 'y' spelling, or were there other reasons for his name being spelled that way?? Is there any info on this, because this is the type of thing that keeps me awake at night!!!

It's confusing. If he wanted to go by "Jimmie" then why did he sign his name as "Jimmy"? I can't find any information about the differences in name choices. It may be lost to history.
