I was flabbergasted. Not necessarily that he made it as a fifth starter somehow. But as the second starter?
I hope Moyer keeps pitching until he's 50. He's definitely an oddity. he's had a pretty damn good career, especially beyond the age 35, 82mph fastball and all.
2 good things for Moyer:
1. His first start will be against the Houston Astros, the team with the worst W/L record in 2011.
2. The game will be played in Houston, not Colorado.
Excellent. There's still a MLB player older than me.
We should all wish to be so lucky when we're closing in on the half-century mark. I'll be happy just to be playing first base for a church softball league when I'm that old.
i actually remember Moyer's debut (or near debut) with the Cubs. Harry Carey was talking him up etc.... i was a little kid. I'm now near 40. :)
