George Lemuel Ewing (April 24, 1873 – June 20, 1947) was an American Major League Baseball pitcher.

He grew up on a farm in Auglaize County where as a young boy, he pitched potatoes against a target on a barn.

Ewing's first semi-pro experience was in August 1897, when he joined the Toledo Mud Hens team in the Interstate League.

"[citation needed] While at home from Kansas City, Bob played ball with a local club in Sidney, Ohio.

Ewing dueled Schwab, his Reds counterpart, to a 3–3 tie when the game was called because of darkness after eight innings.

He pitched ten complete games in 12 starts and compiled a fine 2.98 earned run average.

The headline in the "Cincinnati Post" told the story: "Kelley Claims Ewing Pitched a No-Hitter" He blanked the New York Giants 7-0, giving up one infield hit by Jack Dunn in the eighth inning.

A dispatch from New York after the game stated: "Long Bob Ewing, fed on raw meat and clams for a week, was taken out of his cage and sent against the Giants...Old Wapak fired the leather down the alley so fast that the haze in its wake looked like the smoke in a shooting gallery."

Mr. Binkley appropriately summed up the event: "In short, the Reds were outclassed, the spectators were given a treat of rare sport, and the visitors gracefully acknowledged the corn."

As the first Sidney batter whiffed, the crowd screamed: "Don't throw so hard, you'll kill the catcher!"

On September 11, 1906, Ewing dueled Deacon Phillippe and Vic Willis to a scoreless tie in Pittsburgh, scattering eight hits over 15 innings.

In what he always viewed as the highlight of his career, Ewing fanned the first six Pirate batters he faced, including such outstanding hitters as Wagner, Fred Clarke and Ginger Beaumont.

[1] On January 20, 1910, the Reds traded Ewing to the Philadelphia Phillies in a two-for-two swap of pitchers-Ewing and Ad Brennan for Harry Coveleski and Frank Corridon.

[2] Roger Bresnahan gave Ewing a brief look in St. Louis in 1912, the aging spitballer returned to the minor leagues.

He reached the end of the line in 1913, failing in a trial with minor-league Minneapolis and drawing his release two weeks after his 40th birthday without appearing in a single game.

[3] Ewing returned home and agreed to pitch two games for his hometown team, the Wapakoneta Reds.

As he stepped in for his first at bat, time was called and Ewing was presented with a horn-grip, gold-mounted umbrella engraved "Bob, 1913."

Bob Ewing was elected to two terms as the Auglaize County Sheriff and later ran the Brunswick Cigar Store in Wapak.

On August 12, 2001, all eight of Ewing's surviving grandchildren were present at Cinergy Field for his induction into the Cincinnati Reds Hall of Fame along with Mario Soto.

Beginning in the 1890s, she attended what was at the time a major league record of more than 60 straight opening day games of the Reds.

They had nine children: Christine, Coleen, Charles, Carol, Chris, Charlotte, Cliff, Cindy and Connie.

Bob and Nelle Ewing are buried in Walnut Hill Cemetery near New Hampshire, Ohio under a common headstone decorated with a baseball and bat.
