Reuben Ewing (born Reuben Cohen on November 30, 1899) was a Jewish Ukrainian-American baseball player for the St.
Louis Cardinals. Ewing (then Cohen) was born in Odessa, Ukraine to Jewish-Ukrainian 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 anti-semitism Cohen became "Ewing".
He later attended Lebanon Valley College.
