Hey, if he could learn the knuckleball, why not?
Didn't Charlie Hough pitch until he was 62?
Only until he was 46, but you might have been thrown off by the cause of his retirement - an arthritic hip.

Damn your eyes!
Yeah, the Cardinals took a look at him in spring training 2008 on the recommendation of Eduardo Perez, Jose Oquendo and Yadi Molina -- all of whom had seen him working out in Puerto Rico that winter. As I recall, he hit pretty well, but broke down quickly once they put him in for defensive innings.
That never bothered Jim Mecir, and who can bunt a knuckleball anyway? He should still be pitching.
Yeah, even in his mid 30s, Hough was one haggard looking guy. IIRC, he was a heavy smoker, which probably didn't help much either.
Both still looked younger than Fisk's backup in Chicago - Ron Karkovice.
