"Joseph Daniel Jenkins" was a right-handed Major League Baseball catcher who played for the Baltimore Orioles/St. Louis Browns in 1914 and the Chicago White Sox in 1917 and 1919.

Jenkins made his major league debut on April 30, 1914. He spent the 19 games with the Browns that year, hitting .125 in 32 at-bats. In 1917, with the White Sox, he hit .111 in nine at-bats. In 1919, his final season, Jenkins hit .158 in 19 at-bats. He played his final game on September 27 of that year.

Overall, Jenkins played three seasons in the big leagues, hitting .133 in 40 games (60 at-bats). He had two doubles, one triple and three RBI.

Though his big league career was over after 1919, he toiled in the minor leagues until 1930, when he was 39 years old. He spent seven of those years in the Pacific Coast League. In 1923, with the Salt Lake City Bees, he hit .350 with 23 doubles and nine home runs.

Following his death, he was interred at Belmont Memorial Park in Fresno.
