Poll question: Favorite 40 or older (active) major league baseball player
where for purposes of argument, "active" means "active this season" (so Roger Rocket can really retire this time if he wants to but still qualify). According to this article http://home.hamptonroads.com/stories/story.cfm?story=107138&ran=196926 there are 18 of them now; I'm going to pare it to 10 and if you want to vote for the Big Unit or one of the others omitted, just do so in the form of a reply.

2. How could anyone not like Franco?
The dude's 48, and he's still out there playin' ball!

Okay, so he mostly just pinch-hits. How many 48-year-old guys can even swing a bat without pulling 52 muscles?

:patriot:
