Batting over .300 in several years of AAA, he was called up by the Mets, and also spent time in Florida before moving to the Kansas City Royals.
He was released by the Rockies after testing positive; he was the first North American athlete to suffer such a fate, but not the first athlete overall.
Michael James Jacobs (born October 30, 1980) is an American former professional baseball first baseman and current manager for the Clinton LumberKings. He played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the New York Mets, Florida Marlins, Kansas City Royals, and Arizona Diamondbacks.
Jacobs made his major league debut with the Mets on August 21, 2005, hitting a three-run pinch-hit home run against Esteban Loaiza of the Washington Nationals in his first ever Major League at-bat. Jacobs rather instantly assumed the position of everyday first baseman and continued to hit, tallying four home runs through three games, during the Mets’ 4-game drubbing of the Arizona Diamondbacks. During this stretch the Mets were able to pull within a half-game of the National League Wild Card lead, but faded quickly, dropping two straight games at home to the Philadelphia Phillies and promptly fading out of the race. Jacobs continued to play well, increasing his stock as a trade chip by slugging a monstrous .710 in his five weeks as a major leaguer.
Contrary to popular belief, Jacobs is not Jewish. This small detail was apparently not known to the Marlins when, on May 28, 2006, as part of the team’s Jewish Heritage Day promotion, they gave Jacobs T-shirts to young fans who attended the game.
