Look Out For The Old Man

At age 47, Julio Franco has no desire to retire from Major League Baseball. And the New York Mets are willing to give him a few more year to play, signing Franco to a $2.2 million, two-year contract. He has a chance to become the oldest player to hit a home run in the major leagues, if he can outlast pitcher Jack Quinn of the Philadelphia Athletics who homered on June 27, 1930 at 46 years, 357 days.
