Career

From by|1882 to by|1887 he played for five different teams getting most of his playing time in his first two seasons when playing for the Worcester Ruby Legs, and the Pittsburgh Alleghenys. In 1890, he returned to major league baseball when he played for the Brooklyn Ward's Wonders.

He is known for one infamous game on June 17, by|1885 when playing for the Brooklyn Grays, he and his teammates resented the arrival of Phenomenal Smith, whose brash demeanor didn't sit well with the veterans on the team, and committed 28 errors in route to an 18-5 loss to the St. Louis Browns, with Jackie committing seven of them. After the game, Charlie Byrne fired manager Charlie Hackett, and handed out heavy fines to the guilty players.cite web| title = The Dodgers Encyclopedia, pg. 21 | work = Glenn by Stout, Richard A.
