Jacob Goodman (September 14, 1853 – March 9, 1890) was a major league baseball player who played for the 1877 Pittsburgh Alleghenys, 1878 Milwaukee Grays and the 1882 Pittsburgh Alleghenys.
While playing in the minor leagues in 1884, Goodman was beaned by a pitch.[1] After the head trauma, he became mentally unbalanced and suffered from palsy, ending his baseball career.[1] He died of complications related to his injury at the age of 36, on March 6, 1890.[1]
