Does anybody know how many players are still living who appeared in either the 1939, 40, or 41 Play Ball sets?

Thanks Jodi. Bobby Doerr was in the 1938 Goudey set, so he may be the last player alive in any Goudey set.

Rich,

Yes, sorry, I missed Bobby (odd, because I have a '41 PB I've been meaning to have signed!).

Default Marrero Legacy

Although most members of this forum already receive Old Cardboard magazine and the monthly eNewsletter, I wanted to bring our February eNewsletter to your attention in case you are one of the few who do not.

eNews #82 (February 2011) includes a mini-article about Connie Marrero--now the oldest living Major League player. The issue can be viewed at http://www.oldcardboard.com/eNews/20...82/eNews82.htm.

I had the honor of being part of a group that met with Marrero earlier this month in Havana to help celebrate his 100th birthday. It was a really great celebration in which I was able to record a few video clips. The clips are posted on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C1jtOyLiSPI.

Hope you enjoy the video as much as we enjoyed celebrating the event.

Lyman

PS: In case you do not already receive the free monthly eNews, just send me an email (editor@oldcardboard.com) with your contact info and we will be happy to add you to the distribution list. --LJH

Saw that video in my EM. Really enjoyed it & it must have been a real thrill for you too! GREAT job!

Connie had a little trouble remembering Lopat's name, but as soon as you asked the question his left hand went up & he made that little "junk curve" motion---He remembered!
