I was watching ESPN this morning, and they were talking about the return of Roger Clemens. The guy is three years older than I am! Randy Johnson and Jamie Moyer are also active pitchers heading toward their mid-40's. Wow. It seems like Jamie Moyer has been playing for as long as I can remember (a little trivia: Jamie is Digger Phelps' son-in-law).I enjoyed this recent Letterman Top 10 List:

10. Gets winded putting on his socks
9. Hard slide into second triggers Life-Alert pendant

6. Claims he killed President McKinley with a line drive
5. Often begins sentences, "As Shoeless Joe Jackson once told me . . ."

Steinbrenner never ceases to amaze me with the stunts he pulls. He has more money than he has sense. Who knows though, Clemens might pitch like he was 30 again. But you got to wonder how many more times he can do it.
