Stanley Anthony Coveleski (Kowalewski) (July 13, 1889 - March 20, 1984) was a Major League Baseball player during the 1910s and 1920s. He was a starting pitcher. Coveleski made his debut in 1912 for the Philadelphia Athletics, pitching in five games that season. In 1916 he returned to the Majors as a member of the Cleveland Indians and enjoyed a string of very successful seasons. He won over 20 games each season from 1918 until 1921 and was the star of the 1920 World Series, in which he pitched three complete game victories. Cleveland traded Coveleski to the Washington Senators after a subpar 1924 season in which he posted a 4.04 ERA. Coveleski rebounded to post his final 20 win season the following year. He retired after the 1928 season. Coveleski was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1969 and on June 10, 1976 into the National Polish-American Hall of Fame.
