Imagine this. This guy was once a teammate with Pete Rose.

Good on him for still living the dream, though at that age I hope his role is more in the capacity of manager than player.

I can't say as I've ever heard of him before. Of course, I don't claim to be an expert on MLB rosters so that might not be surprising. The dude is two years older than I am. I'm guessing he's not making contact with his bat much anymore.

Good on him. I hope my body has that kind of longevity so I can play sport for just as long.
