Reuben Ewing (born Ruben Cohen on November 30, 1899) was a Jewish Russian-American baseball player for the St. Louis Cardinals.

Ewing was born in Odessa, Ukraine to Jewish-Russian parents and emigrated with them to the United States in 1904. As a child he showed brilliant athletic talent, a foreshadow of his later achievement of making the major leagues. In order to avoid anti-semitism Cohen became "Ewing". He later attended Lebanon Valley College.

Professional career

In 1921, Reuben received a contract with the St. Louis Cardinals. His short career featured no highlights and lasted only three games and spanned only seven days from June 21 to June 27, with Ewing at bat once. He was an outfielder.
