Red Hoff died in 1998 at the age of 107. He was in T207, and I believe was the last living 1909-1912 ATC card subject, sport or non-sport. Track athlete Abel Kiviat died in 1991 at 99 and was in T218.

Wow, 107! I wonder if that’s the oldest MLB player ever.

He was until the Negro Leagues became recognized as MLB. Silas Simmons, who played two games in 1926, lived to be 111 years old. Hoff is second now. There are two living MLB players who are 100 years old. Art Schallock and Bill Greason.

My grandfather on my mother's side had an uncle (his father's brother) who fought in the Union Army in the Civil War. My grandfather knew him, and liked him. My grandfather was born in 1884 and passed away in 1984. Uncle Frank died in 1915. Pretty incredible to me. Not pre-war card related but...

My dad was born in 1900 in NYC. He could have run into Old Judge players on the street.

I have one T206 card, of Tommy Leach, which I received at random when I was around 10, through a TV Guide ad.

Leach died the year I was born (1969) in Haines City, Fla., where I was a newspaper reporter in the 1990s. He was very active in the community, so I undoubtedly came across people who had known or at least talked to him.

Not trying to hijack this thread, but does anyone know who the last living player was from the 1933 Goudey set?

Similarly, my dad was born in 1897 in Chicago, where he may have crossed paths with Old Judge players. I recall Dad telling me that he and his buddies played stickball on the streets of Chicago.

Default T206 Immortals
I’ve identified 2 Minor Leaguers and 5 Southern Leaguers who may have never died. In a couple of cases, I’m starting to think they may never have existed — a cross-up in first and last name, someone else’s photo, etc.

Minor Leaguers (DOD)
Phelan, Jimmy (N/A)
Poland, Phil (N/A)

Southern Leaguers (DOD)
Miller, Molly (N/A)
Reagan, Ed (N/A)
Ryan, Ray (N/A)
Smith, Carlos (N/A)
White, Foley (N/A)
