Off topic but interesting-- 53 year old college baseball player to get first start

04-25-2008, 07:27 AM

53 year old college student at a Division III school will get his first start. He has been a member of the baseball team all year as a seldom-used reserve but will get to start as the team honors it's seniors. He has played briefly in 10 games this season, but only batted 1 time so far and struck out in his only at bat.

Senior Day: 53-year-old outfielder to get first start

John Wilson will finally get a start on Senior Day. How appropriate for the 53-year-old outfielder.
