View all 12 ReflectionsRabbi Lewis Davis, I don’t know if my father, George Ruthven, is related to Dick Ruthven, the pitcher. I watched the games he was in during the World Series and noticed that there was a resemblance especially in the forehead. There aren’t a lot of Ruthvens so they probably are related in some way.
