Thanks for your interesting responses. It's still amazing to me to think that Bobby Doerr, 94 in April, played with and against the likes of Lou Gehrig, Jimmie Foxx, Joe DiMaggio (they both retired after the 1951 season, Doerr due to a bad back at the young age of 33), Ted Williams (Doerr actually preceded Williams as a Red Sox by 2 years), Lefty Grove, Bob Feller (Feller rookie 1936; Doerr rookie 1937)), and many other HOFer's of a bygone era..........and many players that had direct linkage to the early 20th/late 19th century. Amazing..................
