Jerald Ray "Jake" Brown (March 22, 1948 – December 18, 1981) was a Major League Baseball player who played with the San Francisco Giants in 1975. He was used primarily as a pinch hitter, but also played the outfield.
Brown is most notable because he made it to the majors after nearly severing his left forearm in an industrial accident at a sheet-metal plant in early 1974.
Brown was just 33 years old when he died of leukemia in Houston, Texas on December 18, 1981.
