Who is the oldest living Cub? By JohnW53 on Jan 8, 2021, 3:07am CST +
In June of 2014, the last year before the Cubs current Renaissance, the seventh-inning stretch on WGN was sung by Lennie Merullo.
Merullo was the last living member of the Cubs 1945 World Series. He was 97 at the time, and
98 when he died on May 30, 2015.

95 years and 195 days.
