Default oldest former major leaguer turns 100 today
Posted By: John Wojak

There was a big article in the Sunday New York Daily News about Ted "Double Duty" Radcliffe (he caught and pitched), a former star in the negro leagues and boyhood friend of Satchel Paige, who will turn 100 some time very soon. I believe the article said his birthday is July 7. He is the oldest known negro leaguer, and is apparently a fixture around Comisky Park, where he has a standing open invitation to attend games on the house.
