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..
