Default Jim O'Rourke hit .250 at age 54 !!
Posted By: Joe_G.

Altrock may have the record for oldest man with a triple. Sam Thompson hit a triple in 1906 at the age of 46 (with the Detroit Tigers). Dan Brothers also played in the majors at the age of 46 (NYG - 1904) but didn't collect a hit. Dan was known to be competitive well into his 50's in the minor leagues.
