Veteran Big League Stars Refuse to Yield to Time
A handful of veteran major league players remain active past customary ages. Jimmy Dykes, Frankie Frisch, Lefty Grove, Goose Goslin, Jess Haines, Charley Root and Gabby Hartnett headline a list of seasoned stars expected to play this season. The piece notes their enduring skills, long careers, and ongoing contributions despite aging.
In This Corner B Art Krenz THE OLD GENT S BEARING DOWN
Old baseball stars aged well into their late thirties and beyond are still making impacts. Hoyt at 38 and 22 years in the game posted 2.09 ERA last season with the Pirates. Bottomley, 37, left the Browns mid season then returned to set a major league record for eight unassisted double plays by a first baseman. Other veterans like Sewell, Cuylier, Whitehill, Bluege, and Bull Terry remain influential as they approach or exceed 16 seasons. President Roosevelt may need a law to curb aging in baseball as Father Time and youthful rivals struggle to retire the old omens.
