The Living Expansion Senators

[philliesfiend55]

Not sure if this is the right forum, but interesting interview with Claude Osteen

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0AUgFHiowWg

Osteen was only 36 when he was forced into retirement with a 196-195 lifetime record (He was cut by the White Sox in 1976 during Spring Training). Somebody should have given him a chance to reach 200 (both in wins and losses).

The list needs to be amended quite a bit. Most obvious is the fact that Minnie Minoso, who I believe will eventually be a Hall Of Famer, is no longer with us.
(Death Date: March 1, 2015 - at age 89.)
Roy Sievers, 88, is now the oldest living Expansion Senator.

[Cowtipper]

I hate to usurp Aa3rt's role as master of the list, but since it hasn't been updated in a long time, I'll do a partial update. The ages are all wrong, but the list of names should be accurate ... if I missed anyone (I'm pretty sure I missed one, but I can't figure out who) let me know.
