Dick Koecher - Youngest among Wikipedia's Oldest Players List
Dick Koecher - Phillies LHP 1946-1948 was
added to Wikipedia's oldest living MLB players
list today on his 88th birthday. Koecher ranks
at #108 and last among oldest surviving MLB
players on Wikipedia's list. He had cups of coffee
with the Phillies over three seasons and never
pitched in the majors again after age 22. This
photo is from the Phillies 1949 yearbook, a team
Koecher would fail to make. The '49 YB was the
Phils first-ever yearbook. The 2014 Phillies
Yearbook, due out in late April, will be their 66th.
