Pirates coulda used him today
Him vs Opening Day Judge, who y’all got?
If I somehow manage to get to 109 and can manage something that even kind of resembles some sort of athletic action it’d be a miracle. To be able to stand and throw a ball even just a bit is honestly astounding at that age.
I hope I look that good at 109. I hope my fucking arms even work at 109. What a legend.
Also great representation to the devotion of Orioles fans.
to be alive at 109 is amazing
to still be on your feet at 109 is mind blowing
to be alive and on your feet throwing a baseball at 109 proves that you’re from Neptune or some shit
damn imagine being almost 55 years old and your life is only half over. and he’s still spry enough to get out there, what a boss
Enough injuries and he might be eating some innings in August
Gotta be the oldest ever, right? Hell yeah brother.
Said it in another comment but I think it’s deserved on its own…
This man is 3 years older than Jackie Robinson. Let that sink in.
That 109 jersey goes hard in the paint.
This is the best looking 109 year old I have ever seen
Did they sign him? They do need some pitching.
Hell yeah.
That dude looks AMAZING for 109 years old! Tip of my cap to you, sir!
Awesome. And he looks great doing it.
I’ve seen enough, White Sox sign this guy.
Doesn’t look a day over 80.
When that man was born:
– it was not yet customary to play the national anthem before games
– Lefty Grove was 17 and three years later, joined the Baltimore Orioles of the Triple A International League
– Amos Booth was still alive. Booth was born when Polk was president, and he played for the National League Baltimore Orioles team in their inaugural season of 1882.
Arthur Green was old enough to run for president when the St. Louis Browns became the current Orioles, and old enough to get Social Security the last time the Orioles won the World Series.
This dude was around to see the likes of Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Satchel Paige, Josh Gibson, Ty Cobb, Rogers Hornsby, Buck Leonard, Walter Johnson, Cool Papa Bell and so many more legends that came after them! Insane!
This is insane. He honestly looks like hes in his 70s.
Crazy that he was nearly 50 by the time the Orioles won their first WS 😧
How can you not be romantic about baseball?
He is 36 years older than the « Baltimore Orioles ». He could have played for the Browns for over a decade and retired before they moved
