Ed Levy

Edward Clarence Levy (born "Edward Clarence Whitner" on October 21, 1916) is a former left fielder/first baseman in Major League Baseball who played between by|1940 and by|1944 for the Philadelphia Phillies (1940) and New York Yankees (1942, 1944). Listed at 6' 5.5", 190 lb., he batted and threw right-handed. A native of Birmingham, Alabama, Levy was one of many major leaguers who saw his baseball career interrupted by a stint in the US Coast Guard during World War II. In parts of three seasons, he posted a .215 batting average (42-for-195) with four home runs and 32 RBI in 54 games played, including 17 runs, 11 doubles, two triples, and two stolen bases. As a fielder, he appeared in 36 games at left field and 13 on first base.

As of 2007, Levy (age|1916|10|21) is recognized as one of the oldest living major league ballplayers.
