Mike Sandlock, was the oldest living ex-MLB player.

The title now passes to the 99-year-old Eddie Carnett, who played for three teams during World War II, mostly in the outfield.

Getting close to the Whiz Kid/end of the Philadelphia A's era for 'oldest surviving types'.

Getting close to the Whiz Kid/end of the Philadelphia A's era for 'oldest surviving types'.

I was just wondering this morning how many Philadelphia Athletics are left. Only three Whiz Kids remain--Curt Simmons, Putsy Caballero and Bob Miller, per an article in the Inquirer from earlier this week. philly.com/philly/sports/phillies/20160404_Will_2016_Phillies_be_new_Whiz_Kids_.html

Very good MLB pitcher Milt Pappas died.

chicagotribune.com/sports/ba ... story.html

Really an interesting career and many facts were in the article.

Pappas was involved in the Frank Robinson trade and then was a player rep for the union with the Reds. He wanted the Reds not to play after Robert F Kennedy was assassinated. The management wanted to play and the team by a narrow margin voted to play. Days later Pappas was traded.

Fr. Daniel Berrigan, dead at age 94.

National Catholic Reporter article

Berrigan gained national attention for his work against the Vietnam War, including his participation in a striking act of civil disobedience with his brother, Philip, also a priest at the time, and seven others who became known as the Catonsville Nine. In 1968, the group burned draft records in the parking lot of a Maryland selective service office from which they had taken files.

RIP.

Rick MacLeish dies at 66. Scored one of the most important goals in Flyers history against Boston in 1974 (and his goal against Red Army in 1976 is still my favorite of all time).
