MPR's Eugene Cha interviews 77-year-old Minnie Miñoso at Midway Stadium to look back on his career. He says many factors went into his longevity. The night prior, Miñoso batted leadoff for the St. Paul Saints and drew a walk in the first inning, then being replaced by a pinch runner. The appearance made Miñoso the first baseball player to play in a pro game in seven different decades.

Miñoso came up to major leagues in 1949 with the Cleveland Indians and retired in 1964. He made token appearances with the Chicago White Sox in 1976 and 1980, and had an at bat with the Saints in 1993. A native of Cuba, Miñoso also played in the Negro Leagues in the 1940's.
