I bet no one knows who the last member of the '69 Cubs was to wear a MLB uniform was. It was fairly recent.

No, it was not Randy Bobb, it was The Vulture, Phil Regan, who was still coaching on the Mets staff up until a few years ago.

They had fired their pitching coach in about May that year. IIRC, he was 82 yo. I recall seeing him make a few mound visits during a Met game here.
