My Take
Billy Meyer carries what the record books call a dubious distinction, having both played for and later managed two of the worst teams in Major League Baseball history. I read that differently. Staying in the dugout when the talent is thin and the losses pile up takes a stubborn, unglamorous courage that winners rarely have to summon. Born in Knoxville in 1892, he belongs to a vanished era, but the men who shepherd struggling clubs are the ones who quietly hold the sport up. There is dignity in losing well and showing up anyway. I find myself wanting to tip my cap to this kind of overlooked grinder.
