Seeing Pesky and Doerr at the Fenway ceremony was chilling, even for this Yankee fan!!!

If Bobby Doerr was born April 7, 1918, he is currently 94.

He just missed on '52T, but Jamie Moyer has to be right up there.

Virgil Trucks has to be one of the nicest players ever, and as far as I know, still loves corresponding with fans. A true legend and a true gentleman!

I did an article for the site I write for a couple months back about the ten oldest living Pirates players

Name Birthdate Years Played
Connie Marrero April 25, 1911 1950 - 1954


Wow, Connie Marrero was 39 in his rookie year. That by itself is impressive.

Ace Parker will be 100 next month. He played for the Athletics in 1936-7. As far as I know, he doesn't appear on any baseball cards. He also played pro football and is a fellow Dukie.

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.
