George McConnell (baseball)

George Neely "Slats" McConnell (September 16, 1877 – May 10, 1964) was an American pitcher in Major League Baseball. He played for the New York Highlanders/Yankees, Chicago Cubs, and Chicago Whales. His key pitch was the spitball.

He was born and raised in Bedford, Tennessee, the son of Neely S McConnell and Martha Jane Morton, married Elizabeth Pokorney (born 1895 in Illinois) and lived in Chattanooga, Tennessee. They had three children, 1 boy and 2 girls, although Elizabeth's age would imply that the first child (born about 1909) may have been from an earlier marriage. George McConnell is buried in Forest Hills Cemetery, Chattanooga.
