Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>There really haven't been many ballplayers who have made it to 100; and if I am not mistaken, other than Chet Hoff nobody has even made it to 102. Congratulations to Mr. Werber.

Posted By: <b>Chris Counts</b><p>There's surprisingly few cards of Werber, partly because he doesn't show up in the Play Ball sets. Besides this Double Play, is there another nationally-distributed set that shows him with the Reds? The Goudeys and National Chicles all show him in the American League ...<br /><br /><a href="http://s41.photobucket.com/albums/e278/ccmcnutt/?action=view&current=41mccormickwerber-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e278/ccmcnutt/41mccormickwerber-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>

Posted By: <b>Jodi Birkholm</b><p>Players to reach 100:<br /><br />Charlie Emig<br />Ralph D. Miller<br />John Daley<br />Paul Otis<br />Bob Wright<br />Charlie Gibson<br />Red Hoff<br />Milt Gaston<br />Ed Gill<br />Ralph Erickson<br />Rollie Stiles<br />Karl Swanson<br /><br />and soon, Bill Werber<br /><br />I still need Emig's autograph. Doubt one will ever turn up. All the others were great signers and easy acquisitions.

Posted By: <b>Jodi Birkholm</b><p>Yes, sorry, I knew I was missing a couple. I don't usually include Negro Leagures on my list, though.

Posted By: <b>Chris</b><p>Happy Birthday to Mr. Werber!<br /><br />Very nice man and always good to fans. I've written back and forth with him on several occasions and he's always been nothing short of extremely kind.

Posted By: <b>Jodi Birkholm</b><p>I like that photo. I think I've mentioned it before, but that's not Werber's signature.

Posted By: <b>Dan Bretta</b><p>Yeah, I know...I picked up a big lot of 1939-40 Reds photos and they all have the same handwriting on them.<br /><br />Here's Werber in 1936 with the Red Sox<br /><a href="http://s22.photobucket.com/albums/b331/nudan92/Vintage%20Baseball%20Snapshots/?action=view&current=werber1936.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b331/nudan92/Vintage%20Baseball%20Snapshots/werber1936.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>
