He wasn’t a member of the Cleveland Indians for very long. He only played for the team in 1945, with 76 plate appearances in 30 games.
But Eddie Carnett WAS a Cleveland Indian. Today Carnett celebrates his 97th birthday, making him the oldest man alive who ever played for the Indians. Yes, he is even older than Jason Giambi!
I wrote a post about Carnett last year.
Eddie, on behalf of IPL, I wish you a happy birthday.
Happy Birthday Eddie… and at least 97 more!
