I came across a bit of trivia that interests me, which you might also find interesting.


Question:
Who are the Oldest living players who played part of their careers In the Post-1960 Expansion Era, after the leagues had expanded from 8 to 10 teams and after the schedule had expanded from 154 games to 162 games?


Answers:
MLB:
1. Jim Rivera - age 95 - played his final season of a 10 year career in 1961 with the White Sox and KC Athletics.
2. Red Schoendienst - age 93 - continued to play with the Cardinals to wind up a 19 year career, until the 1963 all-star game break
3. Bob Cerv - age 91. Finished a 12 year career by playing through 1962, but not before having played for expansion teams in both leagues - 1961 Los Angeles Angles (A.L) and the 1962 Houston Colt .45s (N.L.), as well as playing for the New York Yankees for parts of those two seasons.


American League
1. Rivera.
2. Cerv.


National League
1. Schoendienst.
2. Cerv.


My photo request is does anyone have photos to post of Bob Cerv in both of his expansion team uniforms ['61 - Angles; '62 - Colt .45s - (present day Astros)].
