I’m not old as long as these guys are playing
From ESPN:
It was expected to be old-timers’ day in the major leagues on Wednesday, when a record seven pitchers in their 40s were scheduled to start. Until Mother Nature interfered.
The New York Yankees’ Roger Clemens (44), Philadelphia’s Jamie Moyer (44), San Diego’s Greg Maddux (41), the New York Mets’ Tom Glavine (41), Houston’s Woody Williams (40) and Atlanta’s John Smoltz (40) are set to pitch on the same day.
Kenny Rogers (42) was scheduled to start for Detroit, but the Tigers’ home game against the Texas Rangers was postponed because of rain.
The record of six was set last Friday, according to the Elias Sports Bureau, when all but Clemens started.
“I guess it means it’s not a kid’s game anymore,” Maddux said.
It never should have been in the first place.
