Someone on CU has undertaken to keep BoB Lemke's list of still living players from the 1952 set updated.

RIP. The list of folks left from that era keeps shrinking.

It is now listed on Wikipedia. RIP, Tony.

Anthony Joseph "Tony" Bartirome (born May 9, 1932, died June 23, 2018) was an American baseball player, coach and athletic trainer. He played first base for the Pittsburgh Pirates during the 1952 baseball season, after just one minor league season.

Just as an FYI, when we say On-Line OBIT it can be from a Newspaper, Funeral Home or other such entity which keeps track of that. This was announced at a Pirates game so the SABR biographical committee accepted the news; but usually we all need more details than Wikipedia.
