loginStan Pawloski is the fourteenth oldest Major League Baseball player in existence. He was born on September 6, 1931, so this makes him yet another ball player who is currently 94 years old. He is a mere 29 days younger than Chuck Essegian, the player in thirteenth place.
When I started this thread, I thought that anyone who played in Major League Baseball would have his own baseball card, or cards in some cases. Not ole Stan Pawloski, though. Try as I might, I couldn't find a single card, let alone one that had his signature on it. So I did some research on Stan and I found out why. He had only played second base in two games for the Cleveland Indians during the 1955 season.
Well, that's that, and I had to decide, should Stan be included in this thread? Well, the answer is yes, because despite the fact that there is no picture card with his signature on it, he did play in the majors and he's an old timer who is still alive, so two out of three isn't bad. Also, looking ahead, I'll most likely run into this type of thing again. That, or come across cards that are beyond my budget to purchase. (Case in point, Bill Greason, the current oldest, MLB player alive.)
I'm thinking of buying an occasional hand signed index card if I can't find a signed baseball card. I would have gladly bought that signed autographed card of Stan's as shown above, but there is no online record of it anywhere, just the image.
Getting back to Stan, he is currently living in a "large Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) for active adults 55+ offering independent living, personal care, memory care, and rehab/skilled nursing, known for its resort-style amenities like golf, swimming, and dining, providing a full continuum of care in a secure, engaging setting near Philadelphia." (That's AI talking, not me.)
