100th Birthday Nears for Howdy Groskloss
Posted By: James Feagin
Here are the stats on Mr. Groskloss. Not only did he play 3 years for the Pirates (1930-1932), but apparently he was also a great physician after his playing days. On April 9th, Mr. Groskloss turns 100 years old. Not too many people alive who played with the Waner's! By all reports he is doing quite well, and still signs many autographs through the mail. I will be sending him my 100 year well wishes. Those who also wish to do so, please send me an e-mail and I'll shoot you his address. While we're on this thread, care to post any pictures of Howdy Groskloss? I've never seen one. |

At 100 years and a month, I received two signed index cards from Mr. H. Hoffman Groskloss M.D. today. He signed his neat signature on his practices' stationery and added "Pirates 1930-1932" as an inscription. Wow! |

I wrote him a letter about 7 years ago asking about his playing days and he wrote a very kind response. Even ribbed me (deservingly) for spelling his name incorrectly on the envelope. |
