This year has took many people, many legends. It has not been kind to us. I think we all can't wait for 2020 to be over and 2021 to arrive. One thing I feel for all these legends is that I'm sure it's been a while since many of them got to see their old teammates. Cooperstown Induction Weekend, acts as a little bit of a reunion/get together and they didn't get to experience that this year.

In one of those great quirks that make baseball so fascinating, he was teammates with Spahn in 1964, who dated back to the mid 40s, and with Glavine in 1987, whose career stretched ahead another 20 years.

In 1965 Phil Niekro was teammates with Warren Spahn.
Spahn debuted in 1941, when he was teammates with Johnny Cooney. He broke in in 1921, when he was on a team with Roy Powell. Powell's first season was 1913, when he played in Detroit next to Sam Crawford. That gets us into the 19th century. Crawford's first season with was with 1899 Reds. The oldest player on that team was 39 year old Bid McPhee. McPhee spent his whole career in Cincinnati, first in the AA and then in the NL. His first season was 1882, when he played with Chick Fulmer. And Fulmer's first season was with the 1871 Rockford Forest Citys. (Where he played infield next to a 19 year old Cap Anson.)

RIP Phil. Baseball has unfortunately lost another legend; a 300-game winner. I doubt the exclusive 300-wins club will ever see any new members. A testament to many great seasons and longevity.
We have now lost seven active hall of fame member this year. The most active members lost in any given year.
