Oldest Living Major Leaguer has passed away

[Wite3]

The ballplayer who was the oldest living major leaguer has died at the age of 101.

Tony Malinosky was an infielder with the Brooklyn Dodgers for three months in 1937. The Los Angeles Dodgers say he died Tuesday in Oxnard, Calif.

Malinosky hit .228 in 35 games with Brooklyn before his career was cut short by a knee injury. He later served in the Army and fought in the Battle of the Bulge.

Malinosky was honored at Dodger Stadium during the 2009 season when he turned 100. The team says he remained a Dodgers fan his whole life.

Of course, the article does not say who is now the oldest living MLB Alum.

Last player to have lived during T206 production? Wiki says the oldest living player now was born August 11, 1911

According to that chart, no one is alive who played in a major league game prior to September 16, 1935.

Neither did the guy in the OP. Which means there are zero people alive who played with Ruth.

Indeed, a player who faced Ruth is still alive! Great article.

With the passing of Phil Cavarretta, there is nobody alive who played with OR against Ruth at the major league level. Come to think of it, none of the 1938 Dodgers (coached by Ruth) are with us anymore, either.
