Mind Blown du Jour

I was shocked to learn that at some point today, Dick Groat was still alive. Groat's one of those names I've known all my life that played back in the Middle Ages and I would've assumed died long ago, but then after poking around I read about Chris Haughey:

Haughey is the last living major league baseball player from the 1943 season.

1943. FDR was the president. Sure he only played in one game, pitching for 7 innings (against no-hitter legend Johnny Van Der Meer, fyi) but it's not like we're saying he was BORN in 1943, we're saying he played in a professional baseball game in 1943 and is still alive as of this moment!!!!

Bro, lighten up - we won the war! Hitler's dead! Arby's is only 21 years away!!!!
