Bill Werber Passes Away at 100
Posted By: James Feagin
Learned tonight that Bill Werber, the last living teammate of Babe Ruth passed away today at age 100. Werber was a three time stolen base champ, the first player ever to appear in game action on live TV, and was the first All-American basketball player at Duke. With his passing, only Linus Frey is still living from the 1934 Goudey set. Additionally, there are now no living players from the 1934-36 Diamond Stars set. R.I.P. Mr. Werber, you were a great one.
