Chief's .291 career batting average was the highest for catchers playing during this 'dead ball' era. He was
the battery mate of HOF legend, Christy Mathewson on the powerhouse, NY Giants. Meyers
was also roomed with a teammate considered the greatest athlete of the first 50 years of the 20th century, Jim
Thorpe. During the 1911 World Series Classic, Chief established a series record by throwing out 12 runners in 6
games.
