    ...yup, the muscle is the ONLY known thing in the universe that becomes bigger and stronger the more it is used...and conversely becomes smaller and weaker the less it is used.

    Lol! Look at the top career performers and than the top season performers. A lot of guys in the latter category didn't put up comparable careers because they got hurt along the way. Randomly...when you look at all the data you see that the trends just aren't pronounced when you look at a small sample set like say the 2014 Yankees roster.

    :lol: good one Ron.... You got a great Tractor too.

    I won't dare race you on that Antique Ford Tractor in its Granny Gear, cuz I know it would be an embarrassing loss to me....besides, I can't find the pink slip for my legs....you do race for Pinks right? Perhaps you'd take a xerox of my Pink? :lol:

    Then again, I don't know what you'd do with 2 chicken knee old legs...Take 'em to the Pig Jig, someone is likely to eat them...! NOT.

    And Nolan Ryan. Wasn't he 48 when he finally retired?

    Nolan Ryan was born January of 47. He pitched his last game in 93 at the young age of 43. Truly a freak of nature...(truly one INCREDIBLE FEAT).

    Satchel Paige, born in 1906, pitched in his last game in 65, at the young age of 59.

    Both, incredible freaks of nature.

    I guess Rick, its not to late to go to Spring Training in Tampa next year...!

    Wait, I've been out of school a long time but if he was born in 47 & retired in 93 that would make him 46. Or am I missing something?

    My BAD, Rick, you are right, Nolan's last game was at the Young AGE of 46.

    Shit, I thought getting old, would not include me losing my basic Math Skills....oh no!
