Jake Beckley (August 4, 1867 - June 25, 1918), nicknamed "Eagle Eye", was a Major League Baseball player at the turn of the 20th century. During a career which spanned from 1888 to 1907, Jake played predominantly at first base for the Pittsburgh Pirates (1888-1889, 1891-1896), New York Giants (1896-1897), Cincinnati Reds (1897-1903) and St. Louis Cardinals (1904-1907). He was a regular run producer, knocking in 1575 runs over his career.
