He played major league baseball from 1941 to 1946 as outfielder for the Chicago Cubs and the Philadelphia Phillies. Novikoff was a lovable eccentric and had the nickname "The Mad Russian". He supposedly once tried to steal third when the bases were loaded, saying that he had gotten a good jump on the pitcher. After a good year in 1942 for the Cubs, he began to decline and returned to the minors after World War II. He roomed in the Pacific Coast League with Tony Criscola. Criscola told Dick Dobbins for his book "The Grand Minor League": "I roomed with Lou's clothing. I don't know what he did or where he went. I know he was often coming in when I was getting up." Louis Bernard Stringer was born in Grand Rapids, MI and died in 2008 in Lake Forest, CA. He played major league baseball from 1941 to 1950 as shortstop and 2nd baseman for the Chicago Cubs and the Boston Red Sox.
