Thanks for the great photos of McKee, Raffensberger and Quinn.
So much basebaall history is related to Quinn:
Hepitched in his Final MLB game at age 50 years, 6 days.
Quinn's Final MLB game occured July 7, 1933, one day after the first All-Star game was played.
He died April 17, one day after the 1946 Opening Day and the start of the
Post-World War Two Baseball Era.
If you count his 35 wins in the Federal League he is the 2nd oldest pitcher to reach 200 Wins in baseball history( behind Tim Wakefield) reaching 200 wins at age 44 in 1927 (Wakefield reached 200 at age 45). - If you Don't count his Federal League wins as major league wins then he reached 200 wins three years later in 1930 at age 47 making him the oldest pitcher to reach 200 wins.
