As previously mentioned, there are seven gentlemen over the age of 40 starting games today. Yep, seven - obviously a record. And here they are with their age in parenthesis:- Roger Clemens (44)
- Jamie Moyer (44)
- Kenny Rogers (42)
- Greg Maddux (41)
- Tom Glavine (41)
- Woody Williams (40)
- John Smoltz (40)
Does this impress or alarm you? Players hurling into their greys used to be a novelty... not anymore. These guys are pitching well into their 40's, regardless of the state of their brittle bones.
It seems the Arizona Diamondbacks didn't get the memo, however. Randy Johnson (43) doesn't pitch until tomorrow.
Boomer Wells (44) and El Duque (41) have the day off, as well... since there's only room on the bump for one old fart at a time.

Julio Franco thinks these guys are young whippersnappers.
I voted for these guys should try hunting or fishing. Plus Roger Clemens should recognize he's ruining ESPN with his bitch boy drama act. Or ESPN is encouraging it...... I got a better idea. Drown ESPN and Roger Clemens :)
Bristol has the biggest boner ever for the Rocket. When the Yankees play the Red Sox is a close second.
