Incredibly, Kevin Poole is still on the playing staff at League Two side Burton Albion but has yet to make an appearance. Your email address will not be published. [ADDED 3/25/16: Jay Hurd tells Trouppe’s story as part of the SABR Bio Project. It’s tough. “I’m 30,” he said at last. He bounced back to win 18 games for Memphis of the Southern Association in 1940 but fared worse the next two years, then missed three seasons (1943-45) entirely — not because he was fighting World War II but because his arm was bad. The highlight of the season was when he pitched an 18-inning complete game against Binghamton, striking out 20 and driving in the winning run. I was injured and all what I hoped for was to continue for the full 90 minutes and play the next game.". Aside from Scantlebury, the next oldest pitcher to start in his major league debut was Jesse “Andy” Rush, who was 35 years and 111 days old when he debuted for Brooklyn in 1925.

He eventually surrendered his spot to Magnus Hedman before retiring at the end of the 1999-2000 season. The former Wales number 1 only spent a brief time at Doncaster before playing a season and a half with Torquay United in the Third Division (fourth tier). Billy Williams began his professional baseball career in 1952 as the first African-American player in the Class D Mountain States League, a six-team loop with towns in Virginia, Tennessee and Kentucky. (It’s interesting that Paige and McColl pitched in the World Series in their debut year, Hostetler played in the World Series the year after and his team was in the race until the final day in his rookie year, and Olivo pitched for a team that won the World Series weeks after he debuted, although he was not eligible to play in it.). After scoring 1 Premier League goal for Forest, he moved to Tottenham Hotspur the same season in 1992-93 and finished as the inaugural Premier League season’s top scorer. While he was only a part-time player in the majors, Thurman hit 35 home runs in 663 at-bats…not bad for a man who didn’t get the first of those at-bats until he was almost 38. A promising young pitcher who was drafted out of junior college as a 19-year-old, Morris gave up on his playing career in 1989 because of arm problems, went to college (and played football, leading the NCAA’s Division II in punting and earning Little All-America honors in 1992) and was a high school teacher and coach before his players encouraged him to give pro ball another shot — at age 35. “Come on, Joe,” he said. That was enough to earn Scantlebury a trip to Cincinnati’s training camp in 1955, but he had a bad arm and didn’t show much. In his final appearance, in Game 6, he reached base on an error and later tried to score from second on a single but fell down between third and home and was tagged out. Cool post, but it needs a small correction: Chang-Yong Lim is from Korea, not Japan.

( Log Out /  On his website Morris refers to himself as “The Oldest Rookie” (although he has nothing on Quaid, who was 47 when he portrayed Morris in the movie). In 1987 he took a job scouting for the Indians, then in 1988 managed their Gulf Coast League team. The 130-time Dutch international goalkeeper, Edwin van der Sar first arrived in England with Fulham in 2001, signed from Italian Serie A giants Juventus who has just signed Gianluigi Buffon from rivals Parma.

According to his obituary in the Schenectady (N.Y.) Gazette, Riley operated a variety store after his baseball career ended and “was associated with” Bishop Gibbons High School in Schenectady from 1964 until his death from a heart attack in 1970. Riley had a long and successful minor league career, including four years as a player/manager before joining the Phillies, but most of it was in the lower minors. He has remained in England ever since, spending only one season outside the top flight – with Blackburn Rovers in 2000-01; his first full season in English football after spending most of his three seasons at Liverpool as a backup. On Saturday, Brad Friedel became only the fourth player in Premier League history to play at the age of 42 and the first in six and a half years. Phillips recommended Hostetler, and once Zeller talked to Chuck and received assurances he was still in good physical condition (“I’m one of those wiry fellows who doesn’t put on much weight,” Hostetler reportedly told Zeller), Zeller invited Hostetler to spring training.

Sheringham’s final Premier League game came on 30 December 2006 in a 1-0 home loss against Manchester City whilst playing for West Ham. The Cleveland Indians drafted him that winter and he spent the entire 1947 season in the big leagues. “I love baseball. “I coached you.”. Nitcholas was in double figures in victories in each of his first 14 seasons in professional ball; that would be every year from 1932 through 1946, except for 1939, which he sat out with “a rheumatic condition which has affected his arm,” according to an Associated Press dispatch that spring. SABR member Nick Diunte tells more of Clarkson’s story here. The following season they were relegated. He would finish his minor league career with 2,418 hits and a .314 batting average plus 248 homers (his Baseball-Reference.com stats are missing 23 hits and two homers he hit in 1927, according to The Minor League Register from Baseball America). The next night he came on in relief to face the tying run with two on and none out in the top of the ninth and retired all three batters he faced, striking out two, to nail down the win. He was back at Columbus in 1961 and was named the IL’s Pitcher of the Year at age 42, then returned to Pittsburgh in ’62 and had a solid year pitching out of the bullpen at age 43.
