I had the great pleasure of meeting Connie Marrero in Havana last year only weeks before his 100th birthday. As it turned out, he became the the oldest living Major League player during my visit to Cuba (sadly, due to the passing of Dodgers' third baseman Tony Malinowsky).
We did a
mini-article on Marrero in the February 2011 issue of the
Old Cardboard eNewsletter. It includes a video that I recorded when our group visited Marrero's apartment in Havana. Needless to say, the event was most memorable.
