loginFloyd Robert Ross is currently our fifth oldest ex-Major League Baseball player. Robert (or Floyd, take your pick) was born on November 2, 1928, making him 96 years, 11 months, and 9 days old at the time of this posting.
Bob was a high school teacher during both the offseason and his retirement from baseball, then he became a principal and finally a school administrator. After his retirement from the educational field, he owned and operated an avocado orchard for awhile.
Statistically, Bob, or Robert, or Floyd, had a less than stellar career in Major League Baseball, but the fact remains that he played in it for awhile, and thus his presence in this baseball card thread is secure. After all, most of the MLB players weren't a Ruth, a Cobb, a Gehrig or a Mantle, anyway.
There is an interesting article about Bob that is called He’s Made The List! Enter his name in search and you can find it. It is from 2017 when Bob was currently number 94 on the oldest living MLB players list.
