| Satchel Paige didn't retire in 1995. |

| And for some reason, it didn't give me Hoyt Wilhelm when I put in "Wilhelm." |

| Paige is the only player I know of that has played after he's died. |

| The one who retired in 1993 was with the Rangers, not the Mets |

| Who plays baseball until their 59? Oh, that's right Satchel Paige |

| I wonder how tommy john feels about being more known for the surgery named after him rather than his pitching accomplishments. |

| The Sept. 27, 1987 hurler last pitched in the other league in with his original professional team not the the Jays. |

| I can't find any evidence that Altrock was pitching in the game he was 57. He batted mostly because it was an 11 inning game. But he's not listed as a pitcher. http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/WS1/WS1193310010.shtml I think that should matter.
He would still make the list, but it's confusing to have him listed at 57 instead of 47.
The list also cut out Kaiser Wilhelm who was 47 also. |

| Would've thought 'Iron Man' Joe McGinnity would have been on here, but no, his HOF career ended at age 37. ...Well, in the majors. He kept pitching in the minors until 54. Incredulous. |

| It was said Satchel Paige could throw a pork chop past a wolf. |

| Not many guys on this list with fastballs between 80 and 95 mph. |

| I thought Terry Mulholland would make the list, because it seemed to me that he pitched FOREVER. Turns out he was 43 when he retired. |

| According to baseball-reference.com, Hod Lisenbee was the last player born in the 1800's to play in the majors - and he pitched a few years in the minors after his last major league appearance. |

| I love that Randy Johnson is slightly ahead of Tommy John when TJ is a freebie if you type last names only. |
 | pete32782: | Feb 19th, 2012 at 20:09 GMT | | 1 point |
| @jorgecostanza if you type quick enough, you can get Johnson in without getting credit for John. Also, we might add R.A. Dickey to this list down the road...the knuckleballers tend to hang around for a while. |

| So THAT's what happened to Kaiser Wilhelm after the Great War. |

| Through a game I played for many years on Rotojunkie.com and a ton of research into the MLB, I consider myself highly knowledgeable of thousands of players. Yet, I have never heard of Kaiser Wilhelm and Hod Lisenbee. |

| I knew Fidel Castro played ball, but this is the first I'd heard about Kaiser Wilhelm. |

| Jamie Moyer hasn't retired yet. he signed a deal with the Rockies. |

| I feel bad for the guy who was named Kaiser Wilhelm and played right after WWI. |

| How many quizzes will get you two answers for guessing "Wilhelm"? |

| You can remove the asterisk from Jamie Moyer - he pitched in 2012 for the Rockies. |

| I tried every possible spelling for Terry Mulholland (as I remember him being on the 2003 Twins)- didn't remember Orosco though. |
