George Myatt

George Edward Myatt (June 14, 1914 – September 14, 2000) was an American Major and Minor League Baseball player, coach, and manager.

An infielder, Myatt came by three nicknames: Foghorn, for his loud voice; Mercury, for his speed on the bases; and Stud, a name he applied to almost every other player, coach and manager he encountered in baseball.

Myatt was a native of Denver, Colorado, who grew up in El Segundo, California, where he graduated from high school.

[1] Myatt batted left-handed, threw right-handed, and was listed as 5 feet 11 inches (1.80 m) tall and 165 pounds (75 kg).

So Collins passed on Myatt and acquired Ted Williams,[1] who became perhaps the greatest modern hitter and was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame.
