Art Schallock, a former Yankee who had been the oldest living retired major leaguer, has died, MLB announced Saturday. Schallock would have turned 101 in April.
Schallock, a lefty, pitched for the Yankees from 1951-55 and earned three World Series rings (and threw two innings of one-run ball in the ’53 Series against the Dodgers).
He roomed with Yogi Berra as a rookie, shared a clubhouse with Joe DiMaggio, Mickey Mantle and Phil Rizzuto and held Ted Williams hitless in a pair of at-bats.
