I’m at an age where I’ve started noticing that many professional baseball players are younger than I am. As a Royals fan, virtually the entire team that I root for is younger than I am, and I actually find myself surprised to notice when a player is older than me.
This infographic is a few years old, but it does present an interesting perspective that I’m sure we can all relate to as fans.
Had that problem for a lot (a whole lot) of years. 🙂

Considering that 32 is seen as “old” in sports, I’d say most folks end up experiencing this same thing.
Hey, I’m not even on that chart! When Jamie Moyer retired, I knew I was out of the “well, at least one guy is older than me” game.
Maybe we can ask Don Newcombe to come out of retirement. Then we’ll all be covered 😉
I’m barreling toward the old Casey Stengel adage “Everybody my age is dead, and you can look it up.”
What a great line. Can’t believe I hadn’t heard it before.
And isn’t it ironic, as we slide downhill toward the inevitable, that the graph slightly resembles a gun? 🙂
Oof. Hopefully it’s not some kind of cosmic suggestions.
