The Florida Marlins are expected to hire Jack McKeon as their new manager

McKeon broke into pro ball 62 years ago as the catcher for the 1949 Greenville Pirates. To put that into perspective, here are some major leaguers who were active in 1949: Joe Sewell, Luke Appling, Dixie Walker, Schoolboy Roe, Satchel Paige.
