old players in baseball
I'be been following the baseball season a little, and it seems that many of the players that I followed when I was a little kid are still around. In the late 80's and early 90's I used to collect
baseball cards, and many of the players on those cards are still stars today. Names like Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens, Gary Sheffield, Tom Glavine, Ken Griffey Jr. come to mind. Then there is the ageless wonder Julio Franco who is now 48 years old. http://www.sportsline.com/mlb/players/playerpage/127073
So unlike professional basketball and football where I can't think of any player today that was playing in the late 80's, baseball still has a bunch of them. So here is to baseball for not making me feel as old.

well, i'm definitely not up on my baseball players, but Erin and I used to collect baseball cards too. we used to walk to the newspaper store with our neighbors and buy packs of them. i just did it because i thought it would make me rich or something...plus it was almost like a status symbol, depending on which players you had. i know my comment is random, but oh well.
