Meyers was an excellent catcher for John McGraw’s Giants in the early 20th century. He handled the racism and overt prejudice that came with being a Native American at that time in America. Newspapers and teammates typically called him “Chief,” an unwanted nickname that indicates how insensitive American culture was at that time toward minority groups.
