Aww. So Chet Hoff's record is safe, for now.
("Red" Hoff, the oldest ex-MLBer, ever, made it to 107.)
Next up, Hall of Famer Bobby Doerr, the last survivor of baseball in the 1930s. Turned 98 in April. Hasn't been in great heath for a while, it's said.
OTOH, did you see Eddie Robinson at the World Series? Looking pretty damn good for 95, I thought.
