Oldest now was born Nov 1920 (14 month jump). Also, looks like he died from a heart attack 10 days short of his 100th birthday. That’s a total c**t... so far, so close but no cigar.

Death Impends 7,964 Posted August 27, 2019 For about 13 years, the oldest living MLB player always died a centenarian, including those who weren't actually 100 at the time they got the title. But Bobby Doerr broke that streak, and of the three to die since him, only one was a centenarian. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
