Per my previous last post in this thread, Colon is really tearing it up...
And Rich Hill isn't doing too badly at age 40, either!

I've been wanting to post this for a couple of weeks!
Bill "The Spaceman" Lee tried out for the Savannah Bananas at age 75!

I saw this a few days ago (oldest players on Opening day rosters this year) and thought of this thread - article linked here
Obviously Albert Pujols is oldest but look who No. 4 is!

Happy 49th birthday to Bartolo Colón! El viejo!
Some facts from mlb.com:
| Quote: | | During a 21-year Major League career, the stocky right-hander known as “Big Bart” accumulated several distinctions: He was the last member of the Montreal Expos to play in the Majors, he was the last active pitcher from the 20th century, and he was the oldest player in MLB history to hit his first career home run. On top of all that, if Colón were to suit up once more in a big league uniform, he would become the sole four-decade player in Major League history whose career started in the 1990s. The ageless wonder last appeared in 2018, but he spent the ‘21 season in the Mexican League hurling for Acereros de Monclova as a 48-year-old. |
Bring him back to Los Acereros! I would love to see that.
