As a coach with the Detroit Tigers in the 1920s, Benny Meyer was known as one of the loudest and most excitable men on the diamond. His famous phrase, which he would repeat from the coaches box when the Tigers had men on base, was "Something is going to happen!" With the explosive offense the Tigers had, something often did. Meyer was an infielder in the Federal League for parts of three seasons and later got into one game in 1925 as a coach with the Phillies. He delivered a pinch-hit double in that appearance before retiring to the coaching sidelines. He later managed in the minor leagues and spent more than 60 years in uniform in some capacity or another.
