Today's best baseball moment:
Julio Franco talked about filling out a questionnaire for some media thing. When he got to the question, "What's something no one knows about you?" he wrote, "My age."
Other things I like about Julio Franco: his goofy batting stance and his goofy career path. He didn't play in the majors in 1998. In 1999 he had 1 at-bat. He struck out. Then in 2000 he went to the Mexican League and hit something like .475. In the three years since then, he's had 699 at-bats with respectable numbers. And he's so old he makes Benito Santiago look, well, if not young, then at least less like the living dead.
