Buddy Myer

Charles Solomon "Buddy" Myer (1904–1974) was a second baseman who played in Major League Baseball from 1925 through 1941, spending most of his career with the Washington Senators apart from a brief stint with the Boston Red Sox in 1927–28. A two-time All-Star, Myer won the 1935 American League batting title and led the league in stolen bases in 1928. He batted .300 or better nine times and retired with a career average of .303. An unusually disciplined hitter, he drew more than twice as many walks as strikeouts over his career. Myer attended Mississippi A&M, now Mississippi State University.
