Pop Lloyd Still Going Strong

From the Harrisburg Telegraph, April 30, 1925


Visiting Player Real Vet


“Pop” Lloyd, second baseman for the Bacharach Giants, is probably the oldest player on the infield of a first-class baseball team in the country. Lloyd’s playing yesterday would have been a credit to a major leaguer, although he is within a few years of the half-century mark. Batting in fifth position yesterday, he had a single and run in five times up. In the field he shone brilliantly, with five put-outs and three assists. He cut off almost sure hits for Harrisburg. His whip seems as strong as ever, and his experience has not been a setback to his method of play. Lloyd has appeared in Harrisburg games on a number of occasions, and he does not seem to be slipping a bit.
