Oldest MLB Player Dies

According to the Associated Press, "Former St. Louis Brown Rollie Stiles, believed to be the oldest former major leaguer, has died. He was 100... Born Nov. 17, 1906, in Ratcliff, Ark., Stiles pitched for the Browns in 1930, 1931 and 1933, compiling a 9-14 record with a 5.92 ERA. Babe Ruth was among the hitters he faced." I bet he had some great tales to tell. Wonder who the oldest living former MLB player is now?

Billy Werber is now recognized as the oldest living major leaguer. Born June 20th 1908, which makes him 99 years young. He played with NY Yankees '30-33', Boston Red Sox '33-36, Philadelphia Athletics '37-38, Cincinnatti Reds '39-41, and NY Giants in '42. Interesting note, he is the final surviving teammate of Babe Ruth..
