Robert Randall Bragan (October 30, 1917 – January 21, 2010) was an American shortstop, catcher, manager, and coach in Major League Baseball. He also was an influential executive in minor league baseball. He was born in Birmingham, Alabama.On August 16, 2005, Bragan came out of retirement to manage the independent Central League Fort Worth Cats for one game, making him — at 87 years, nine months, and 16 days old — the oldest manager in professional baseball annals (besting by one week Connie Mack, the manager and part-owner of the Philadelphia Athletics). Always known as an innovator with a sense of humor — and an umpire-baiter — Bragan was ejected in the third inning of his "comeback", thus also becoming the oldest person in any capacity to be ejected from a professional baseball game.Bragan died on January 21, 2010 of a heart attack at his home in Fort Worth. | Date Of Birth | October 30, 1917 |

| 1 | Roy Campanella took my place. That was the biggest contribution I ever made [to baseball]. (on ending his major-league playing career in 1948, with a .240 career batting average) |
| 2 | On working with Jackie Robinson: It helped make me a better, more enlightened man, and it helped me to have a future in baseball as a manager because later on I was going to have to manage fellows like Felipe Alou, Maury Wills, Henry Aaron, and plenty of other black players. |
