Charlie Emig
Charles Henry Emig (April 5, 1875 – October 2, 1975) was a Major League Baseball pitcher. He played in one game for the Louisville Colonels of the National League in 1896. Emig is currently accepted to be the most recently passed 19th century major league player, after having taken baseball researchers two decades after his death to discover that he, not Ralph Miller as previously thought, held that distinction.
