Cy Eppler

Eppler was one of the most successful managers in the history of the National Baseball Congress World Series. His Boeing Bombers won back-to-back national titles in 1954 and 1955. 

The powerful 1955 team he put together included eight future Kansas Baseball Hall of Fame inductees, including Vern Frantz, Minor Scott, Daryl Spencer, Les Layton, Ernie Logan, Gene Rogers, Andy Teter and Loren Packard. 

Eppler’s 1953 team finished runnerup to Fort Leonard Wood.
