Dick Fitzgerald

Happy Birthday, Dick. Actually, it's a day late for these greetings, as he was born on June 16, 1935, but it's close.

Dick Fitzgerald appeared as a pitcher in the Baltimore Orioles' spring camp in 1956 and 1957 as a non-roster invitee. What's unique about this player is that he has kept hurling in various baseball levels -- both professional and non-professional -- for almost seven decades. His history is well written in a SABR BioProject article. I'll reference it here, and not repeat it:

The photo is from that article and shows him in the uniform of the Vancouver Mounties.
