- 1918 Arthur "Tillie" Shafer Original Type 1 Photograph Baseball Player Navy Pilot WW1, with LOA provided by RMY Auctions
- Arthur Joseph "Tillie" Shafer was a Major League Baseball infielder with the New York Giants from 1909 to 1913
- While attending Santa Clara University, Shafer was one of the most accomplished college athletes on the west coast, winning numerous track and field medals, in addition for playing baseball for the then-Missionites of Santa Clara. He was once timed at 3.2 seconds running from the batter's box to first base.
- However, his time in Major League Baseball wasn't very happy for him. A young, shy man from a wealthy family, Shafer was hassled from the moment he first entered the Giants' clubhouse as a rookie. Outfielder Cy Seymour gave him the feminine nickname "Tillie", which stuck. Throughout his tenure in New York, Shafer was branded as a "momma's boy" and razzed by his teammates. After two seasons of sitting on the bench, Shafer took 1911 off to go home and also to play baseball in Japan. He returned the following season, and in 1913, he was a regular in the Giants' starting line-up for the first time. He got to play in the 1912 and 1913 World Series.
- In 1918 Arthur enlisted in the Navy to become a fighter pilot, but the war ended before he was able to take down an enemy plane
