He was until the Negro Leagues became recognized as MLB. Silas Simmons, who played two games in 1926, lived to be 111 years old. Hoff is second now. There are two living MLB players who are 100 years old. Art Schallock and Bill Greason.

Another with 13 players who were with the Pittsburgh Pirates during the regular season, but never played a game. There's also one about 27 baseball families, as well as a day-by-day look at the worst team in Pittsburgh Pirates history. All five can be found here:
