Buddy Myer was referred to as the "cocky little Second Baseman," though that was not meant as a compliment, and was usually used by opponent or opponents' fans after Myer did well.

Save for a couple of productive seasons with the Boston Red Sox early in his career, Buddy Myer was a career member of the Washington Senators, the team he began and ended his career with.  Myer had six seasons where he batted over .300, one of which saw him bat .349, enough to win him the American League Batting Title in 1935.  He was named an All Star that year and again in 1937.  Myer, who batted .303 as a Senator with 1,828 Hits, was probably known best for a brawl with Ben Chapman (the racist Yankee who would become an even more racist manager with the Phillies who taunted Jackie Robinson) after he taunted Myer for his Jewish heritage.
