  • Oldest Senior Living Major League Baseball Players by Marty Friedrich February, 2014
    Oldest Senior Living Major League Baseball Players By Marty Friedrich February, 2014 Listed below is a chronological listing of all the major league baseball players who were the “oldest senior living major league players” from 1871 through the present time. The oldest senior living major league player designation is based on the player’s major league debut date and not his date of birth. If a researcher is looking for the “oldest living major league players” which solely uses the players’ date of birth can be found in the bullpen section of the baseball reference website. As for the senior living list, the only time a player’s date of birth would be a factor is when two (or more) players have the same major league debut date. This method would then be used as a sort of tie breaker to distinguish who would be considered to have the most seniority. This has occurred only once when many players had the May 4, 1871 debut date due to the beginning of the major league era. The first four players (annotated with asterisks) fall into this situation. The senior living list contains the players’ name, lifespan and major league debut date. At present, 36 players have achieved this distinction. Retrosheet and baseball reference websites were the only sources I used to compile this listing. Senior Living Major League Baseball Players (1871) Player’s Name Life Span Date of Debut Bill Lennon (January 3, 1845 to August 19, 1910) (May 4, 1871)** Charlie Pabor (September 24, 1846 to April 23, 1913) (May 4, 1871)** Al Pratt (November 19, 1847 to November

Chapter 1 | Chapter 2 | Chapter 3 | Chapter 4 | Chapter 5 | Chapter 6 | Chapter 7 "It Will Be The Survival of the Fittest"41 During the months leading up to Opening Day of the 1890 baseball season, the Players' League won legal rulings which invalidated the reserve rule and permitted the PL to freely sign National League players. Those months were also filled with increasingly combative public statements on the part of both the National and Players' Leagues. http://www.empire.net/~lewisec/Players_League_web3.html Page 1 of 6 Players' League-Chapter 3 7/19/2001 12:13 PM Members and supporters of each league attempted to gain the early lead in the propaganda war which was rapidly growing between them; the Players' League promulgated their image as friends of the toiling classes and the NL in turn portrayed the players as contract breaking radicals. The increasingly militant public statements on the part of both sides helped fuel a great deal of public speculation as to the eventual outcome of the conflict. During this time, the leagues compiled their rosters and schedules, and final preparations were completed for the tumultuous season which was to become known as the "Brotherhood War". As mentioned above, virtually all of the National League players in 1889 were members of the Brotherhood of Players, and most of those men joined the Players' League for 1890.
