Silas "Si" Simmons was a pitcher whose baseball career lasted from 1912 to 1929.
He pitched for teams such as the New York Lincoln Giants of the Eastern Colored League and the Cuban Stars. He is pictured in the uniform of the 1913 Homestead Grays, which was still a semi-pro team at that point.

Si Simmons died in late October, 2006, a couple of weeks after his 111th birthday on October 14. As of 2020, he remains the longest living man ever to have played pro baseball.
