Ben got it out of the gate with T-Dub.
Williams played in the 30's, 40's, 50's & 60's. How many other HOFers played in 4 decades. |

We can add a pitcher in Nolan Ryan.
|

Ryan is the only HOF pitcher.....Cy Young was close, but no cigar!

A deserving Hall of Famer, although he'll likely never make it--Jim Kaat.

I've heard it's rumored that Elmer Valo got into 1 game with the 1939 Philadelphia Athletics; if so then he would be another four-decade player.

McCovey was the guy who jumped out at me as a kid. I thought it was cool to have a 1980 Topps card with stats going back to 1959.

My first thought was Jamie Moyer and I just looked him up - he played from 1986 to 2012!
WOW!

Jamie Moyer
Jack Quinn Nick Altrock Nolan Ryan Jesse Orosco Jim O'Rourke Deacon McGuire Dan Brouthers Carlton Fisk Omar Vizquel This isn't all of them, but just ones that I know played past the age of 45 and hit the 4 decades. Including Negro leagues you would have a few more including Satchel Paige

Jim Kaat was celebrated as a 4 decade player at the end of his career. And he could really hit!

I guess he was a better fielder, then. Not sure why I remember him as being a good hitter.
![]() I think he hit a few clutch (or perhaps game winning) homers that drew some good publicity. Perhaps his .185 average was offset by having some power or clutch hitting ability. I thought maybe he was used as a pinch hitter a few times as well. Could be wrong... |

You are not misremembering-- Kaat was often used as a pinch hitter, and was a great athlete. One blogger noted that he was used as a pinch hitter or pinch runner 106 times in his career.
Twins fans of my vintage remember that 1972 season when he broke his hand/wrist sliding into second. He continued to pitch through a couple more innings, won the game and was 10-2 less than halfway through the season, with an ERA barely over 2. Oh, and he was batting .289 with a couple of dingers!! The broken wrist ended his season and messed him up in 1973 as well.

Jamie Moyer was the last player in the Major Leagues who was older than me....made me sad to see him retire.
