Bill Werber, who was the oldest living ex-major leaguer died Thursday. He was 100. Werber, a career .271 hitter who led the American League in stolen bases three times, played with Babe Ruth, Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Jimmie Foxx and Lefty Grove in stints with the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox. He once hit .370 as the third baseman on the 1940 World Series champion Cincinnati Reds. This man knew alot of baseball history and will be dearly missed, this is a great loss.
