From Cuba yesterday comes news of the death of Connie Marrero two days before his 103rd birthday. Marrero had been the oldest living major leaguer for the past three years. He pitched for the Washington Senators for five years (1950-1954) and was a one-time American League All-Star (1951).
Upon Marrero's death, catcher Mike Sandlock who played for the Braves, Dodgers, and Pirates in a sporadic major league career between 1942 and 1953 becomes the oldest living major leaguer at age 98 years, 6 months. He retired 60 years ago after finishing his career playing for the Phillies' AAA affiliate in 1954.
Do members have any photos of Marrero and Sandlock to share?
