Bill Campbell, que arremessou para alguns times e não rebateu, passou. Vou tentar encontrar um óbito (não vai demorar muito) e quem sabe, talvez um QO (vai demorar uma eternidade) e definitivamente um hit único DDP.

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.

Ray Herbert, a 1962 All-Star Game winning pitcher who threw batting practice for his hometown Detroit Tigers for decades after retiring, died peacefully in Plymouth, Michigan, five days after his 93rd birthday.

Herbert started his big league career with Detroit in 1950 and pitched for four teams over 14 seasons. He was a 20-game winner for the White Sox in 1962, then led the American League with seven shutouts in 1963 with Chicago.

Herbert died Dec. 20 after a long battle with Alzheimer’s disease, his brother Richard Herbert said. He was born Dec. 15, 1929.

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. He'd bang out a steady beat whenever the home team was batting and wound up becoming a Cleveland sports icon.

Wasn't a fan of his broadcast career (and neither was Deion Sanders, ha), but I have respect for his playing career.  RIP.

He was one of the few former-players-turned-presenter that I could listen to.  But I can understand why one may feel differently, MrWonderful.  De gustibus non est disputandum.

Some more awards with only a few alive recipients:

Only living person awarded this is Jean Faut (b. 1925) in 1951 and 1953.

 


Jean Faut (wiki), arguably the most prominent living player from the AAGPBL, dead at 97 according to this FB post.
