Carnett is reportedly the oldest living former Major League player, and also the oldest Pacific Coast League player.
Back on May 26, 2012, a then 95-year old Carnett threw out the ceremonial first pitch at Safeco Field before the Turn Back the Clock game in which the Mariners wore Rainiers jerseys and the Los Angeles Angels wore the PCL Angels uniforms from 1955.
During his playing days, Carnett was what one might call versatile. He was an outfielder, first baseman and pitcher. He was also a player/manager for six seasons in the minor leagues. He had a 19-year professional baseball career from 1935-1955.
