Looking at the Wikipedia Oldest Living Players List today I just realized that Eddie Robinson nearly completed the circuit among American League teams that existed during his major leagues career
(1942, 1946-1957). He played for 7 A.L. franchises, but no National League teams.The only A.L. team he didn't play for was the Boston Red Sox.
Born December 15, 1920, he is approaching his 98th birthday.
Here's how he ranks among living players in age:
1st: Yankees, Senators, Tigers, Kansas City Athletics.
2nd: Indians, Orioles.
3rd: White Sox, Philadelphia Athletics
6th: Major leaguers.
In Addition he is the last living member of the 1948 Cleveland Indians Worlds Champions.
An outstanding first baseman, he is a four time American League
All-Star: (1949; 1951, 1952, 1953).
Posting Photos by members of Mr. Robinson as a player with any of his franchises would be greatly appreciated.
