About Reuben Ewing

Lived 1899 – 1970 (aged 70). Reuben Ewing was an American baseball player.

Reuben Ewing (born Reuben Cohen; November 30, 1899 – October 5, 1970) was an American professional baseball player for the St. Louis Cardinals.

Early life Ewing was born in Odessa, Russian Empire to Ukrainian-Jewish parents and emigrated with them to the United States in 1904. As a child he showed brilliant athletic talent, a foreshadow of his later achievement of making the major leagues. In order to avoid antisemitism Cohen became "Ewing". He later attended Hartford High School and Lebanon Valley College.

Professional career In 1921, while still a student at Lebanon Valley, Reuben received a contract with the St. Louis Cardinals. His short career featured no highlights and lasted only three games and spanned only seven days from June 21 to June 27.

In the only plate appearance of his professional career, he was struck out by future Hall of Fame pitcher Eppa Rixey while pinch hitting for pitcher Tink Riviere.
