      If you turn 76 this year, and you had a kid when you were 21, and that child had a kid at 21, then you are younger than Bernie Sanders or Joe Biden but have a grandchild old enough to be president in 2021.

      The first African-American player in Major League baseball, Moses Fleetwood Walker, played one season, 1884, for Toledo. He was thwarted by his pitcher, Irish-born Tony Mullane, crossing him up constantly. Tony Mullane was still alive when Bernie Sanders & Joe Biden were born.
