Posted By: <b>Glen V</b><p>During the Braves game last night they mentioned that Franco was one day older than Quinn was when he hit a HR. Franco turns 47 this week, and just needs to hit a HR to become the oldest player to do so.<br /><br />Other trivia asked during a televised game this weekend: Who's the oldest living HOFer?

Posted By: <b>Greg Ecklund</b><p>I'm fairly sure that the oldest living Hall of Famer is Al Lopez - if inductees from the broadcasting and journalism wing are included I'm not sure if there is someone older than Lopez.

Posted By: <b>Orioles1954</b><p>Ted,<br /><br /> The oldest living HOFer indeed is Al Lopez. The oldest living major leaguer is now Rollie Stiles. There are still two players alive that appeared in a Goudey set; Billy Werber and another whose name has temporarily escaped me <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14> If you want to give me a prize and a home for a t206 Quinn....e-mail me!<br /><br />James
