Have there been MLB players of eastern european descent(not only direct from there also guys from the early immigration waves in the US in the 19th century)?
For example many great players are of german descent(wagner, gehrig, ruth, mauer, greinke...) or italian names(di maggio, piazza...) but I can't recall any eastern european names. Of course there are less eastern european immigrants, but there was still a fair share of e. european immigrants. So are there any players of eastern european descent?(think about names that end with ...ov, ...ik or ...ski)
