League Park in Cleveland appears to be Sherm Lollar, who appeared in a game there during his rookie season in 1946 (although not the last game) and played in the majors until 1963.

As did David Ortiz  (AJP did not appear in the series, Torii Hunter was on DL)
And Carlos Beltran
 
It will be interesting to see which of the 4 lasts.  Oddly, Hawkins seems like it may be him, even though he is oldest, he is turning into the RH Jesse Orosco.

It looks like Early Wynn has him beat by 6 days: Lollar last appeared in a game on 9/7/63, and Early's final appearance came at Dodger Stadium on 9/13/63.

Hawkins said he is going to retire at years end. I guess my money is on Beltran but I learned a long time ago you never count out David Ortiz.

Fulton County is Jeter if we include the post-season and it sounds like we should.  He gets it by two days over Jamey Wright, who gets no r2spect

Postseason should definitely count. I mean, the stadium was still in use after all.
