This is a fantastic thread.
Wikipedia actually has a great article on this that lists not only the players and their birthdays, but also the dates of their MLB debut and final game, as well as the teams they played for and the number of games. Check it out here: List of oldest living Major League Baseball players |

Al, It must be very special to meet a man such as Mr. Sandlock. I would love the oppertunity to talk to some of the founding members of baseball that are still with us.

Rawn,
Yes it was a great thrill! His son told me that he wants me to come back and for one of the board members I may be doing an interview about his time with the Pirates. He is now the oldest pirates player left. His son told me he has one of his scrap books from his pirate days on the table ready for me ! I may see him again Sunday!

With special thanks to our own Al Simeone and a huge thanks to Mike Sandlock, I present this article. What a truly fabulous interview he gave Al!
http://blogs.piratesprospects.com/hi...irates-player/ Part two tomorrow night around this time Just to add, there will be many more quotes in tomorrow's piece. Probably could split it into three articles but I won't and won't leave out anything either.

Since we are taking about the oldest living MLB Players. This was something that was always mentioned in the past.
The Greatest Living MLB Player: I believe this is Stan Musial at 91 yrs old. Born: November 21, 1920 (age 91 |
