Magyars who have played in the majors

April brings us Easter, blooming aromatic flowers and, of course, baseball. Last autumn, I presented a wordsearch on Magyars in the National Football League. I received dozens of letters and emails from WPA members telling me how they enjoyed that puzzle. In the same spirit, I present to you this month’s wordsearch: Hungarians that have played Major League Baseball.

In my investigations, I found out that in the late 1800’s, there was a semiprofessional baseball team called The Shenandoah Hungarian Rioters. Written annals also show that there were actually three players in the majors with the last name of “Nagy”: Mike, Steve and Charles. The names “Demeter” and “Veres” are listed more than once in baseball registries. Probably the most famous of all Magyars in MLB was Triple Crown Champion and Hall of Famer Joe “Ducky” Medwick of the St. Louis Cardinals.

We cannot forget the guys that keep the game in check, the umpires. One of the most famous umps in baseball was Ed Vargo.

The list of Magyars in Major League Baseball is quite extensive. The April wordseach is comprised of 18 clues. Each clue is the last name of a Magyar ballplayer. If you know of any other Magyars that have played in the major league of any professional sport, please drop me a message. If there are enough additional names, I will present a future wordsearch on other professionals that have played professional sports.

Boldog Húsvéti Ünnepeket!

Good Luck!
