The term “senior circuit” takes on a whole new meaning today in Major League Baseball. A record seven pitchers in their 40s are scheduled to start.
New York Yankee Roger Clemens leads the way by age (44) and wins (349), followed in age by Philadelphia’s Jamie Moyer (44, 223 wins), Detroit’s Kenny Rogers (42, 208), San Diego’s Greg Maddux (41, 339), the Mets’ Tom Glavine (41, 296), Houston’s Woody Williams (40, 127) and Atlanta’s John Smoltz (40, 201).
“I guess it means it’s not a kid’s game anymore,” Maddux said.
