Boone played 19 years, Hammonds played 13, Sprague played 11, Duffy played 10.
Five to go.
Hint: the oldster pitched for Gonzaga, then went to Stanford. He pitched in a 26 inning game in 1920, and the opposing pitcher (Joe Oeschger) did the same. He faced a still-existing record 96 batters in the game. His career was mainly with the Brookly Robins (Dodgers), and he played his last season with the 1924 New York Giants. Oeschger, a St. Mary's alum, was also on that team. He also served as a U. S. Army officer in WWI. And he married Maie Ebbets, daughter of Brooklyn Robins owner Charles Ebbets. This player was successful on Wall Street in the 1920s, then ran the family copper mine.
