At 31 years and 322 days old, Wynton Bernard became the oldest player to get a hit and steal a base in his Major League debut since the Cardinals’ Joe Delahanty on September 30, 1907 (31 years, 347 days).

“My first thought that went through my head was so many times in the Minors, that’s happened to me, and now I’m so thankful we have review,” said Bernard, who was cheered wildly in each at-bat in his 1-for-3 night.

“I never had the thought of not making it,” added Wynton Bernard. “I just tried to focus on the positives, and that’s what kept me through”. “I felt some sort of resentment for baseball, for a full year, then I said, ‘No, that’s not the way my dad would have wanted this. He wants me to live my dream.’

“The last time I saw him, he was crying … and now I think he would be OK with me making the Major Leagues today.”
