Snuffy Stirnweiss
George Henry "Snuffy" Stirnweiss (October 26, 1918 – September 15, 1958) was an American professional baseball player. He was a right-handed-batting second baseman who played in Major League Baseball between 1943 and 1952, playing most of his big league career with the New York Yankees, and spending his last couple of seasons playing with the St. Louis Browns and the Cleveland Indians. A batting champion in 1945, he played a role with three different World Series championship squads during his time in New York.
==Early life and college==
Before turning professional, Stirnweiss was a multi-sport star in high school at Fordham Preparatory School in the Bronx. In his junior year the school, 1935, he led his school to championships in both baseball and basketball, and was the star of both teams in the process, while being a leader for the football team as well. These accolades helped to earn him a spot in the school's Hall of Honor upon his graduation from Fordham Prep in 1936. Furthermore, he was able to parlay his sporting accomplishments into attending the University of North Carolina, where he played significant roles with the football and baseball programs. As a football player, he was used in a quarterback and halfback hybrid role, while also being capable of booming punts further down field than most other punters were capable of doing during this time period. His football prowess earned him many accolades, including the highest honor an athlete can achieve at North Carolina, being awarded the Patterson Medal, an athletics program-wide award for being the most outstanding athlete at the university.
Stirnweiss also played baseball whilst at North Carolina, and though he was not as renowned in Chapel Hill for his baseball exploits, these were what would get him a step further in his career, as it turned out. Stirnweiss felt the same, and, despite being a high draft pick by the then-Chicago Cardinals of the NFL in 1940, Stirnweiss, an offer in hand from his hometown New York Yankees, opted to pursue a baseball career and signed with the New York organization upon his graduation from North Carolina in 1940.
