Belated happy B-day to Bill Werber

Was digging thru old emails still and found one that mentioned Bill Weber celebrated his 100th birthday on June 13th. He is oldest living player. You can find cards of his in a number of different sets.

When Chet Hoff was the oldest living player, finding his card was a pain because he only appeared in the t207 set. If I remember correctly, he is also the longest lived player.

Players that lived to be 100+ sounds like a subset for Gil

Bill Werber looks at a Yankees magazine that highlighted his days in Major League Baseball at his retirement home in Charlotte, N.C., Friday, June 6, 2008. He may occasionally forget dates and appointments, but Werber remembers vivid details of playing ball with Babe Ruth and other baseball greats. (from yahoo news)

HBD, BW!
