Dude is still kicking at 81.

He reminds me of the line from Grumpy Old Men. "Dad, you know you're only supposed to be smoking filtered cigarettes." "Well, I'm 94 years old, what the hell do I care?"

Nova Hokie 95 • 03/02/26 01:59 PM ET
Akin to getting an asterisk, no? :-)**
PhotoHokieNC • 03/03/26 06:06 AM ET
Its a record for playing 30 spring games or more. They didn't play as many
UTPr0sim • 03/02/26 02:22 PM ET

Nova Hokie 95 • 03/02/26 01:58 PM ET

SteveInBaltimore • 03/02/26 11:56 AM ET
That would be Dusty Baker at 73 years old.**
UTPr0sim • 03/02/26 12:05 PM ET
Leyland could have set the record at the time though
SteveInBaltimore • 03/02/26 12:12 PM ET
NO he was just 52 in 1997.
UTPr0sim • 03/02/26 12:15 PM ET

They sucked, bought a WS caliber team, then sold them off.**
EDGEMAN • 03/02/26 10:41 AM ET
