An outstanding hitter, he batted .300 or better in eight full seasons, and retired with a career average of .303. He walked more than twice as many times as he struck out. In 1935 he won the American League batting title with a .349 batting average. Myer played 17 years in the major leagues. During his lifetime, Myer was incorrectly reported to be Jewish.
