The starting shortstop for the 1940 World Champion Reds, Billy Myers actually left the team just before the Fall Classic began and had to be coaxed back onto the field by the team's GM before the start of the World Series.  He's signed this 1939 Play Ball card, the sole example in their pop report, in blue ballpoint, in a slightly tight hand, as "Bill".  PSA/DNA have given the autograph a well-deserved grade of 10. The card originates from the Shibe Park collection of autographed cards, an original owner collection carefully collected by a teenage boy who, in 1939 and 1940, obtained many autographs from players arriving at the train station near Shibe Park, and continued for many years to obtain signatures in person and through the mail.
