The Oldest Living Major Leaguer


I have a really big baseball interview today. I’ll be talking to a gentleman named Rolland Mays Stiles. He is the oldest living major league baseball player, 100 years old last year! There have been over 18,000 MLB baseball players in the history of the game and only 12 have lived to be 100. Stiles is one of only 5 players still alive who either played with or against Babe Ruth. Stiles played from 1930 to 1933 as a pitcher for the St. Louis Browns. I can’t wait!
