2 Final Survivors of 1930s major league baseball.

With the recent passing of Ace Parker and Mike Palagyi there are just two living players who played major league baseball before 1940.
Career-wise these veterans of MLB in the 1930s couldn't be more different.
2B Bobby Doerr had a Hall Of Fame Career and played in nearly 1,900 games. The other survivor, pitcher Art Kenney played two games in a four day period of July 1938 and that represented his entire major leagues career.
Of course there are plenty of photos documenting Doerr's career, but what of Kenney? Any photos out there on him?

FIY: Hall Of Famer Al Lopez was the last survivor of 1920s big leagues baseball and he was 97 when he passed away on 10/30/2005.
