Arthur Edwin "Cy" Fried (July 23, 1897 – October 9, 1970) was a Major League Baseball pitcher who played in two games for the Detroit Tigers in 1920.[1]

Born and raised in San Antonio, Texas, Fried was a left-handed pitcher known for his short-lived but notable stint in the majors. He made his MLB debut on September 17, 1920, appearing in two games and pitching a total of 1⅔ innings. Despite a challenging performance—allowing three earned runs and ending his career with an ERA of 16.20—Fried's brief time in the league places him among the many players who achieved the dream of playing at baseball's highest level. After his professional baseball career, Fried returned to his hometown of San Antonio, where he lived until his death on October 9, 1970, at the age of 73. While his career in the majors was fleeting, it remains a point of interest for baseball historians, illustrating the wide-ranging stories of players in the early 20th-century game.[2]
