Wally Mayer broke into the big leagues with the White Sox in September 1911 but never got much playing time in Chicago. Mayer, a former lithographer, came to Boston in 1917 and played in four games.
He was the team's third-string catcher in 1918. In less than four weeks during the summer, Mayer got two 12th-inning, game-winning hits against Cleveland. Boston sold Mayer to the St. Louis Browns and he finished his career in 1919.
