Jacob Semer, better known by the anglicized name "Jake Seymour" on the baseball field, was an American professional baseball player, who played in 1882 with the Pittsburgh Alleghenys, of the American Association. Born around 1854 to German immigrant parents, he lived in what was then known as Allegheny City, in the Deutschtown district, before the area was annexed by the City of Pittsburgh in 1907. As a teenager, he did not attend school and helped to provide for his family by selling novelty jokes and, later, as a laborer.
