Larry Chappell

La Verne Ashford "Larry" Chappell (February 19, 1890 – November 8, 1918) was an American professional baseball player who played from 1913 to 1917 for the Chicago White Sox, Cleveland Indians and Boston Braves.

On February 14, 1916, Chappell was sent to the Indians as the player to be named later to complete a trade that originally occurred August 21, 1915.

Chappell played his final season in 1917, appearing in four games for the Braves, collecting no hits in two at-bats.

In May of that year, newspapers reported that four Bees players – Chappell, Paddy Siglin, Walt Leverenz and Jean Dubuc – were planning to join the U.S. Navy.

Chappell was one of eight Major League Baseball players known either to have been killed or died from illness while serving in the armed forces during World War I.
