The fans speak out.(Letters To The Editor)(Letter to the Editor)
One of the letter-writers in the August issue asked if Julio Franco, at age 46, was the oldest ball player to steal a base in the majors. You stated that he was.
However, upon reading a book written by Derek Gentile, Arlie Latham stole a base for the New York Giants in 1909 as a player-coach at age 50.
Can you verify this?
Stephen Moxley
Charleston, Mo.
Latham was credited with a stolen base in 1909 when he was 49 years aid, according to the Baseball Encyclopedia, so we stand corrected.
Has there ever been a game in the major leagues where neither a walk nor a strikeout was recorded?
