This post has absolutely nothing to do with that. I just always wanted to have that be a headline for one of my stories ever since I saw it on "The Office."Okay, here's today's "how about..."
Last night in Arizona, Julio Franco took Randy Johnson deep for a two-run home run in the top of the second inning. Franco is 48 years, 254 days old. Johnson is 43 years, 236 days old. Combined, they are 92 years, 125 days old, making them the oldest pitcher/hitter combination ever involved in a home run in major league history.
When Julio Franco was born in 1958, gas was 24 cents a gallon, Dwight Eisenhower was President, our country was still segregated, Ernie Banks hit a big-league-best 47 home runs, and Jose Reyes' life wouldn't start for another 24 years.
