William Murray Werber (June 20, 1908 – January 22, 2009) was an American professional baseball third baseman in Major League Baseball who played for the New York Yankees (1930, 1933), Boston Red Sox (1933–1936), Philadelphia Athletics (1937–1938), Cincinnati Reds (1939–1941) and New York Giants (1942).

Decades later, Werber enjoyed admitting that he was so frozen by fear that he was unable to move his arms to make a swing at the ball.

In 1933, Frankie Crosetti was chosen as the Yankees' shortstop, and with Tony Lazzeri at second base and Joe Sewell on third, Werber was traded to the Boston Red Sox.

In his first National League season, Werber became the first player ever to bat on television during a game between Cincinnati and the Brooklyn Dodgers at Ebbets Field (August 26, 1939).

The following season belonged to Werber and the Reds, though, and, although his batting numbers were generally down from 1939, he led the league with a .962 fielding average and finished 10th in voting for the NL's MVP Award.

He began selling pension plans, and his work ethic and good communication skills yielded results.

Billy's son, Bill, married the daughter of US Army Adjutant General, Herbert M. Jones.

Werber was a vivid storyteller and would often share tales of playing with Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig and hunting trips with President Eisenhower and J.W.

At the time of his death, Werber was recognized as the oldest living former player of Major League Baseball.
