Eros Bolivar "Cy" Barger (May 18, 1885 - September 23, 1964) was a right-handed starting pitcher and left-handed batter who played in the American League for the New York Highlanders (1906-07); in the National League with the Brooklyn teams Superbas (1910) and Dodgers (1911-12), and for the Pittsburgh Rebels (1914-15) in the Federal League.
A native of Jamestown, Kentucky, Barger was a dead ball era pitcher who also played first base and shortstop as well as the outfield. He debuted on August 30, 1906. With the Highlanders, he had a 0-0 record with only 11 innings pitched in two seasons.
In 1909, Berger led Rochester to the Eastern League title with 23 wins and a minuscule 1.00 of earned run average. Again in the majors with the 1910 Dodgers, Berger enjoyed a career-year with 15 victories and a 2.88 ERA, winning 11 games the following season. With the Rebels, he won 19 games from 1914-15.
Barger compiled a career 46-63 record with 297 strikeouts and a 3.56 ERA in 975.2 innings. He played his final game on October 2, 1915.
Cy Berger died in Columbia, Kentucky, at the age of 79.
Fact
- Barger was significantly named Eros, after the god of love in the Greek mythology, and Bolívar, after the Venezuelan hero of South American fight for independence from Spain.

Los Angeles Dodgers' Infielder Juan Uribe Having a Good Season, and I'm Swallowing My Pride COMMENTARY | This is tough for me to write. Since Juan Uribe's signing in November of 2010, I've been against it every step of the way. It's partly because he's an ex-San Francisco Giants' player, but also because he wasn't a good baseball player. But Uribe is earning his keep this season -- the final one of his contract.
