I don't know why I'm reading old baseball obituaries on a Saturday morning, but there you have it. Anyway, here's an excerpt from Billy Werber's obit. He died in 2009 at the age of 100, and was the last living teammate of Babe Ruth's:

He was feisty enough in telling Commissioner Bud Selig what he thought of some modern-day ballplayers.

As he related it to The Palm Beach Post last June: “I got cured of watching television the year the Boston Red Sox won it and Johnny Damon was on television with a beard and Ramírez with dreadlocks. I wrote the commissioner of baseball a letter — ‘Get those guys shaved. Have them be a role model for young boys.’

“The commissioner wrote me a very nice letter, but he didn’t say anything. He toe dances around every subject.”

Get that degenerate filth off my TV!

LOL. had a pay wall to read the article but get the gist. I've used the 1934 Werber in the SIM many times, but it's been a while since I've done so. He sort of feel off my radar, but he's a good value at caps of $110-$120M - never tires, has remarkable range at 3B (20+ "+" plays not unusual), good XBH guy and is super-fast. He's back on my radar. Thanks crazy!

redwingscup, I get around the NYT pay wall using my Toronto library card. I imagine American cities have something similar available through their library systems.
