This thread was in the watercooler section but it seems only fitting that the news of the demise of our oldest living MLB'er would be on the front page of a primarily vintage forum. RIP Mr. Doerr.....Here is his rookie card...1937 Goudey R314 (from the OC website)

With Bobby Doerr's passing, Red Schoendienstist - 94 years old is now the oldest living Hall of Famer. He is followed by Tommy Lasorda and Whitey Ford.

He was the last living player from the 1930's.
No one living right now played in the majors before September 3, 1941 when Fred Caligiuri made his debut for the Philadelphia A's. Only Chuck Stevens of the St Louis Browns is older than Caligiuri (by 124 days). They are both 99

We were just recently discussing Bobby Doerr's longevity in a thread in the Watercooler section.

Doerr played against Lou Gehrig. And made his debut 80 years ago. Quite a remarkable career and life!
God bless this wonderful man....

Very sad news! Mr. Doerr signed for me many times TTM over the years, and included some nice extras like a signed HOF plaque, a card, etc.
Speaking of oldest living Major Leaguers, does anyone know where I can find a listing of oldest players? I am familiar with the Wikipedia list but that only runs 1-100. Is it possible to sort this information on Baseball-Reference or another site? I have seen football lists, but can't seem to find a reliable baseball list.

RIP. He certainly had a great and long life. Wonderful to fans with signing through the mail as stated. A class act for sure.
