Um, he's not the oldest living yankee anymore...

supichoo: Seeing as how dictionary.com defines yankee as 'a native or inhabitant of the United States', i'm sure there are plenty of people older than him in the US.

I hear that not all of the Cleveland Indians are verifiably of Native American descent, either.

When someone dies at 96, it isn't sad. He lived 96 farking years! Good for him.

That would be Otis Junior Nixon Jr.

FriarReb98: God Speed, real Yankee.

\if only there were more than three of them, maybe four if you count Matsui, on the current team....

Matsui is the prototype for the attitude a player should have. The guy apologized to the fans for breaking his wrist while diving for a ball. That's a guy that doesn't have a sense of entitlement.

Who will announce Celtics games now?

So there are no oldest living yankees alive?

He's missing some important credentials for the "Oldest living Yankee" moniker

Good. Who cares? He swung a piece of wood and hit a ball with a funny hat on.

It's not worth it.

ragunax: funny hat

What is so funny about the hat? The short pants, maybe, but not the hat.

I hate the Yankees, and I love Hideki Matsui. I was at Yankee Stadium that night in '07 where seven Yankees hit a total of eight home runs. Matsui jacked two. A-Rod, who was sitting on 499 home runs that night and who bats before Matsui, didn't hit any.
Someone asked Matsui if he felt any pressure, and he said, "No. Everyone was in the bathroom when I came up to bat."

old reliable.

And not a word about him here in Dayton. I had no clue he lived here, but then again, why would anybody want to admit that?

You just did.

As my uncle said when Thurman Munson died, the only good Yankee is a dead Yankee.

I hear that several don't even speak Hindi.

One less Yankee... a good start.

I know of at least one who's a member of the Slapaho tribe.

Yeah, but I'm just a loser who posts crap on fark.com

Taking into consideration his 3 years out of baseball during WW2, Heinrich's stats are remarkably similar to Bobby Abreu's
Decent power, high on-base percentage. (look at the "162 Game Avg" lines on both.
