The title of oldest living player gets handed down:
Bill Werber, who was the oldest living former major leaguer and a former teammate of Babe Ruth, has died at age 100.
Werber's son, Bill Jr., said his father died Thursday morning of "old age" after moving into an assisted care facility three weeks ago.
Good for Bill. One century is very impressive, and to have spent part of it playing with the greats of the game makes it that much more special.
My thoughts go out to his family and friends.
Tony Malinosky appears to be the oldest living player now.
