Thatcher 2,386 Posted January 16, 2023 On 26/11/2022 at 17:02, tracy said: There are 13 living players from the Mets' inaugural 1962 season. The oldest is Frank Thomas (b. 1929), who is also the oldest Milwaukee Brave and Houston Astro. He suffered a bad fall in 2021, but recovered well enough to appear at their 2022 Old Timers' Day and seemed fine. Ed Kranepool (b. 1944), the youngest player on that team, was also there. The oldest Red is Al Worthington (b. 1929), who is also the oldest San Francisco Giant. There are also 12 living players from the Cincinnati Redlegs, of which the oldest is Bob Kelly (b. 1927). The youngest two were born in 1939 and 1940, so could be around for a while. Frank Thomas has died aged 93. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted January 30, 2023 John Adams, who pounded a drum while sitting in Cleveland's outfield bleachers during baseball games for five decades, has died. He was 71. The Guardians announced Adams' death Monday. Adams first hauled a bass drum that he bought for $25 at a garage sale to a game at Municipal Stadium during the 1973 season.
