Two of the four oldest players, Lonny Frey and Billy Werber, were starters on the Reds '39-40 pennant winners, and from what I understand, they are close friends to this day ... also, a couple years ago I visiting someone in a Monterey, CA senior home, and, on a whim, I asked an employee, "Do you have any ballplayers here?"
