1. Avoid running at all times.-S. Paige Posted: September 16, 2011 at 11:11 AM (#3926724)Harveys, you saw him. False modesty or is he telling the truth?
I've seen college and HS basketball teams do this with players who've suffered career ending injuries. The opponents let the injured player score an unopposed basket, and then the other team reciprocates.
In a game with no playoff implications, how about if they let Len lead-off the game, and give him an intentional walk to get him in the Baseball Encyclopedia. Then the Reds could walk the opponents lead off hitter intentionally to square the deal.
You will now have the nearest waterway rerouted through your yard.
Brings a tear to my eye.......
he does have a BRref page
Cool!
although, that page has the strange notation at the top: "Bats: Right, Throws: Unknown"
(the guy WAS a shortstop...)
Edit: or at least 97.
I'm actually headed out the door right now to pick up some beer for tomorrow's tailgating at the Maryland game. I haven't decided what sort of medley I'm going to get just yet.
"Northside Boy Playing Sensationally for Reds." When I lived in Cincinnati in the 70's, Northside was a little neighborhood that seemed like it had never emerged from the depression. A gf of mine rented an apartment there for less than anything I'd ever heard of - $75/month.

Apparently you can't trust Wikipedia though.
Would that be Gordie Howe? I know he was positively ancient when he was skating with his sons for the WHA's Aeros.

First played semi-pro at 15, reached the NHL at 18 in 1946. Last NHL game was in 1980 (3rd in games played that season). Final pro-game was in 1997 at age 69 with the Detroit Vipers of the IHL and nearly scored a goal. In '77/78 he was 7th in the WHL for assists at age 49.
Now _that_ is longevity.
