McGruff says: Satchel Paige (in the Major League) Twelve years after making appearances in the All-Star games of 1952-53, Satch at the dubious age of 59, pitched three innings for the A's to become the oldest man to pitch in a major league game. http://www.blackbaseball.com/players/satchelpaige.htm At the age of fifty-nine, Satchel Paige became the oldest player in the major leagues. http://www.americaslibrary.gov/pages/jb_0707_satchel_1.html Wed May 15 11:21:24 CDT 2002 (Delete Entry) McG says: On June 19, 1999, Ted 'Double Duty' Radcliffe became the oldest player ever to appear in a professional game. The 96-year-old took the field in the uniform of the Schaumburg (IL) Flyers in an actual Northern League game against the Fargo-Moorhead Redhawks. Radcliffe was born July 7, 1902. Fargo-Moorehead won 10-6. http://www.pitchblackbaseball.com/dutypitchesflyers.html Wed May 15 11:35:38 CDT 2002 (Delete Entry) (Reposted as one entry, credited to McGruff - McG)
