If one of the steroid guys were to make an improbable return to MLB I was kind of hoping for Sammy Sosa though.

If John Glenn can return to space at age 77, then why not a 50 something year old baseball player! I say give him a chance to show what he can do!

But I wholeheartedly agree - I tried sticking with soccer into my early 40s and just couldn't cut it any more. Everything slows up and it takes longer (and longer, and longer...) to get fitter and stronger.

Any chance Steve could let my guy Brent Cohen be used as a DH? (even if it's just in spring training one year?)
