Whitey Herzog will become the second-oldest living Hall of Famer to turn 90 on Tuesday. Giants great Willie Mays turned 90 in May.
Appearing as an observer, instructor and savant at the Cardinals’ Fantasy Camp at Jupiter, Florida, this week, Herzog, laughing, said, “I've never been 90 before. Everybody says, 'You don't look 90. You look good.' My answer to that is, 'I don't feel as good as I look.'"
Later on, the man who shepherded the Cardinals to the 1982 World Series title and two other National League pennants said he actually felt good except for some circulatory trouble in his right leg.
