Art Ditmar joins the 100 oldest MLB players list at #100. He is 88 years, 10 1/2 months old.
He is also the only player in Wikipedia's 100 Oldest Livng Major Leaguers list who is not at least 89 years of age.
Ditmar had a nine year
MLB career from 1954 to 1962 with the Athletics, in both Philadelphia and Kansas City and the New York Yankees.
He had a 72-77 record with a 3.98 e.r.a., pitching 41 Complete Games and 5 Shut Outs. His 13-9 and 15-9 seasons
with the Yanks in 1959 & 1960 respectively, were far and away his best efforts,
but he went 12-22 for the lowly 1956 Kansas City A's to lead the American League in Losses.
