Roxy Snipes

Wyatt Eure "Roxy" Snipes (October 28, 1896 – May 1, 1941) was a Major League Baseball player for the Chicago White Sox. Listed at 6 ft 0 in (1.83 m), 185 lb., Snipes batted left-handed and threw right-handed. He was born in Marion, South Carolina.

Snipes was a major league player whose career, statistically speaking, was only slightly different from that of Eddie Gaedel or Moonlight Graham. His performance that afternoon at Comiskey Park reduced to the bare essentials. On July 15, 1923, he debuted with the Chicago team as a pinch-hitter in a game against the Philadelphia Athletics. He went hit-less, did not have a fielding chance, and never appeared in a major league game again.

Snipes died in Fayetteville, North Carolina, at the age of 44.
