Bob Oldis, a backup catcher for the Phillies and Pirates in the early-1960s, passed away on September 21, 2025 at age 97.
Oldis played in the minors ever season from 1949 to 1961, except for 1954 and 1960. He played a few games for the Senators from 1953-55, then it was back to the bushes until he resurfaced with the Pirates in 1960.
After seeing limited action for parts of 2 seasons with Pittsburgh, he finished his career with the Phillies in 1962 and 1963. His plate appearances in those 2 seasons (96, 89) eclipsed his previous high of 26 with the 1954 Senators.
After his playing career, he coached for the Phillies (194-), Twins (198), and Expos). Later, he scouted for the Phillies, Expos, and Marlins.
