And he attended World Series games from 1928 to 2017. How many people alive today saw Babe Ruth play in the World Series? ---

I recognized him from Trainwreck – he was one of the guys arguing with Amy’s dad (he even mentions Babe Ruth). He was 101 in that movie! ---

she was his daughter, an obscure celebrity noted on this site devoted to uncommon knowledge. The impression you are giving is that I’ve diluted the purity of the topic. Was that your intention? ---

I don’t believe he attended them all. And I mistyped, he went to game 1 of the 1926 WS. That means he attended WS 91 years apart. > **[A boy's return to the World Series 91 years later](https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/21145911/a-boy-return-world-series-91-years-later)** > > In 1926, actor Norman Lloyd watched Lou Gehrig and Babe Ruth in Game 1 of the Fall Classic. Now three weeks shy of turning 103, he'll be back in the stands for what might be the longest fan seniority streak in World Series history. ---

Thanks. That’s amazing. I went to my first Mets game when I was 12, so to pull off a similar feat, I’d have to see another Mets game in 2067. 😲 ---
