Books and articles about Cy Slapnicka

Slapnicka pitched in the minors for 18 seasons, but won only one game in two brief trips to the ML. He discovered Bob Feller and Herb Score for the Indians, and scouted for Cleveland from 1923 to 1941 (he also served as club vice president, 1935-41) and 1947 to 1960. In between, he worked briefly for the Browns and Cubs. When Commissioner Landis considered declaring Feller a free agent in 1937, Slapnicka suffered a heart attack. (FVP)
