Conrad “Con” Starkel

Conrad “Con” Starkel played in one game for the Washington Senators in 1906. However, he probably was NOT born in Iowa. Baseball Reference lists his birthplace as Red Oak, Iowa. However, the Baseball Encyclopedia lists him as being born in Germany. While the website “findagrave.com” lists his birthplace as Saratov Oblast, Russia. All three sources agree on his birth date of November 16, 1880.
