List of players who were older than the President of the United States during their careers
(Redirected from Older than the President)
Just four major league players have been older than the President of the United States of the day:
1904 Jim O'Rourke (born 09/01/1850) and Dan Brouthers (05/08/1858); Theodore Roosevelt (10/27/1858)
1933 Nick Altrock (09/15/1876); Franklin D. Roosevelt (01/30/1882)
1965 Satchel Paige (07/07/1906); Lyndon B. Johnson (08/27/1908)
The nearest miss involved Nolan Ryan (01/31/1947) and Bill Clinton (08/19/1946) in 1993. Jamie Moyer (11/18/1962) came close, as well, during the Barack Obama (8/4/1961) Administration. None of the four players listed above were playing regularly at the time of their appearance.
