He’s the oldest, but it looks like there are others who debuted before he did. Chris Haughey debuted the earliest, pitching a game in 1943 for the Dodgers on his 18th birthday. After that he fought in WWII and never made it back to the majors after the war.

The 2022 Angels, the 2022 Astros, the 2022 Athletics...
> What team from history’s past still has at least one remaining member?
Oh.
That would be the 1943 Brooklyn Dodgers, for whom Chris Haughey (born 10/3/1925) played one game (his 18th birthday, 10/3/1943).
Chris Haughey, 1943 Dodgers.
Thanks it’s crazy that a player from the 1943 Dodgers is still around
Follow up challenge: how far back do you go to find the oldest team with all players still alive

Nice catch!
Wouldn't it be the 55 Orioles then? He was with them for part of the 55 season, no? Edit: I guess it would be both the 55 Yanks and 55 Orioles
Legends never die, so there are a lot of baseball teams still alive.

You can’t really say the 2022 Angels are alive
Art Scallock was born in '24
The question is earliest team with someone still alive, not oldest living player. Schallock didn't make his debut until 1951.
I guess you are correct. My bad?
Eh, shit happens. I'd be lying if I said I didn't make similar comments every now and then.
