Jacob Dodson of Detroit is Daniel Rackstraw's rival in collecting baseball memorabilia in The Pitcher and the Plutocrat. He puts up his Hans Wagner bat against Rackstraw's Neal Ball glove that the Giants will beat the Tigers in a private game at the Rackstraw country estate. In The Goal-Keeper and the Plutocrat he is a rugby football fan from Manchester, his pet team is Manchester United, and he competes with Rackstraw in collecting football memorabilia.
