Lon Warneke
[edit] Biography
Born on March 28, 1909 in Mount Ida, Arkansas, Lon Warneke (Lonnie Warneke) played for the Chicago Cubs and St. Louis Cardinals over the course of his 15 year career. Warneke broke into the bigs on April 18, 1930 with the Chicago Cubs, and put up a 3.22 ERA in 64.1 innings pitched in 1931, his rookie year.
