Longest lived HOFer of all time
Last player to have played in the 1930s
Last player to have played with or against Lou GEHRIG
ALWAYS great to the fans

Super bummed.

He was also the last to play against Rogers Hornsby too if my memory serves me right. RIP.

Wow. You are right, when Rogers was with the Browns.

That means Doerr was the last living player to have played with or against someone born in the 19th century

Shoot and only less than a year from being 100. It's always sad when last links of history go even if he lived a long eventful life.

RIP
