Otto Neu
Otto Adam Neu was a shortstop who played briefly in Major League Baseball during the 1917 season. Listed at, 170 lb., Neu batted and threw right-handed. He was born in Springfield, Ohio.
Neu was a major leaguer whose career, statistically speaking, was similar to that of Moonlight Graham. Previously, he had played minor [league baseball] for the Senators, Indians and Browns organizations, and made his majors debut on July 10, 1917 with the Browns, appearing for them in a game against the Yankees at Sportsman's Park.
But Neu did not have a fielding chance or turn at-bat, and never appeared in a major league game again. Following his playing retirement he worked as a salesman.
Neu died of intestinal influenza in Kenton, Ohio, five days short of his 38th birthday.
