102-Year-Old Baseball Star

Blowing out the candles on his most recent birthday cake was an impressive feat for Cuban-native Conrado Marrero, the oldest living former major league player who turned 102 on Friday. The right-handed pitcher started his professional career in 1950 at 38 years old with the Washington Senators and remained in the Majors with the team until his last game on September 7, 1954. Here’s to many more wonderful years, Conrado.
