He was the 3rd oldest living person who had played in the major leagues, behind 101-year-old Bill Greason and 100-year-old Bobby Shantz who had won the 1952 MVP
He debuted in 1953, and he was one of maybe ~8 living people who played in the MLB in 1953 or earlier

Going 18-1 as a reliever in 1959 is unbelievable.

He was dedicated to his fans his whole life- he signed autographs through the mail until the very end. A true superstar in my book. RIP to a great one.
