Now batting....Methuselah

Actually, it's pitching.  But since the Colorado Rockies are in the National League, he'll be batting as well.  Who?  Jamie Moyer, that is.

Moyer, entering his 25th major league season, posted a 2.77 ERA this spring and beat out 22-year-old Tyler Chatwood and 28-year-old Guillermo Moscoso for a rotation spot.  If Moyer wins one game, he will become the oldest player to win a game in the majors.  At 49 years of age, Moyer is older than eight current MLB managers and 16 general managers.

Sorta reminds me of George Blanda.
