Kevin Kerr's 1993 Interview with Chester Hoff, with photos edited in. Fascinating stuff, talks about pitching to Ty Cobb and his relationship to Hal Chase .

Fun fact: Hoff was the longest living major league player. I believe he was 107 when he passed.

Thats great...thx for posting.

Aside from the possibility of some Negro League players for whom we do not necessarily have accurate birth records, I believe at 107 Chet Hoff was the longest-lived American pro athlete.

Fascinating guy. I've got a single signed Hoff ball on display in my office.

My Chester Hoff back run
 

Took me several years and the help from two net54 members.....

When my son was five years old in the mid 90's we sent Mr. Hoff a baseball to be signed. My son still remembers when the ball came back in the mail signed by the oldest living Yankee! Thanks for the post, I will share this with my son...
