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.

gollark: <@263493613860814848> Well, it's very simple. Apparently YOU experienced a weird quirk where it suddenly decided to allow you to use it, *possibly* because of some inconsistent weirdness in the way discord.py works. Then I took it down and really quickly wrote a hotfix to do it in a more recommended way which should work.
gollark: <@160279332454006795> Please try it.
