In the last couple of days, there was a story written about this. Marrero is the oldest (101) and is living in Cuba.

The apartment he is living in isn't very nice and he has some medical problems. The MLBPA has $20,000 for him but because of the embargo and because intermediaries aren't allowed to handle the cash, Marrero hasn't been able to get the money.

My former neighbor Wayne Terwilliger is turning 87 this year and still coaching down in Texas with the Fort Worth cats. He came up in 1950 with the cubs.

I think Bobby Doerr is the last living player in the 41 Playball set.
