Julio Franco
Posted by: Bradley McDonald
Franco signed a one-year contract over the off-season to play first base for the Atlanta Braves. That in itself is not big news, but Franco will be 47 years old when the season begins! It's amazing just to be playing at that age, but last year Franco was also very productive, hitting .309 in over 350 plate appearances. I'm 20 years younger and I get worn out playing softball one night a week.
