WOW THAT IS CRAZY!!!

I just looked up the other night who was the oldest player alive and he came up.
He was a Yankee and the last person a live to have played with Babe Ruth.

I was actually just about to see if I can arrange a trip to meet him.

WOW

That is scary

Anyone know who the oldest is now? I'm too busy at work to research it.
