Yankees honor Bud Metheny on his 111th birthday

Metheny played for the Yankees from 1943 to 1946, contributing to the team's 1943 World Series championship. He is remembered not just for his brief MLB career, but also for his legacy as a player and educator. Metheny was born in St. Louis and later attended William & Mary, where he excelled in baseball. Despite challenges with injuries, he made an impact during his tenure with the Yankees before his career ended in the minor leagues.
