Elroy Face is 95
How about some good news for a change? Yesterday was Elroy Face's 95th birthday!
Face pitched from 1953 to 1969, appearing in 802 games for the Pirates ('53-'68), 2 for the Tigers ('68), and 44 for the Expos ('69).
Last week, I was at a local antique store, and in one showcase there were a lot of sports items, including 3 baseballs autographed (separately) by Face, Dick Hall, and Dick Groat. Coincidentally, they are each over 90 years old, and all played for the Pirates during their career. (I am not near Pittsburgh.)
The Face ball was a steal at $25, while the other two were over $50, if I recall correctly. I just may go back and get that Elroy Face ball. He is currently the oldest living player who was still playing after 1966.
