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.
