Why, thank you!







Oh, you meant Bartolo Colon.

As per Gary on Thursday's telecast, the last -- and in fact the only -- foreign born player to start a ML game past age 44 was born in the fuckin' Austro-Hungarian Empire (present day Slovakia) in 1883
John Picus "Jack" Quinn, born Johannes Pajkos, pitched for 23 seasons between 1909 and 1933, making his final appearance 6 days after turning 50

Is he still alive? Maybe we can invite him to stop by!

And if he's dead, we can invite his ghost to the next TCD ceremony in Stockholm.

counting bartolo, there are only three players left in the majors who are older than me, and one - ichiro - is all but retired already, having been moved into the front office this season.

any guesses as to the only other 40-year old in the league?
