  • digitalmoto, on 10/11/2007, -1/+12Personally, to be still pitching 90+ miles per hour and getting hitters out at 40+ years of age is pretty damn impressive to me.
  • witcompe, on 10/11/2007, -0/+11Did not actually set the record though... Detroit's game was rained out.
  • PresidentSoup, on 10/11/2007, -6/+15What is the baseball fan's fascination with obscure MLB records?
  • kenvsryu, on 10/11/2007, -0/+8It just shows you that there is a lack of young pitchers. All the kids want to be home run hitters.
  • tamurlane6, on 10/11/2007, -4/+11In any other sport it would just be a "Fun Fact"
  • treypidation, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4As a Houston Astros fan I can say that Woody Williams is one 40-year older that does not deserve to still be pitching. 3-10? Dude's horrible.
  • Universe, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Baseball could always use more GOOD pitchers. Plenty are needed.
  • 8ight, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1ya, the gambler didn't pitch. so they tied the "old" record from what, last week, when all the same guys pitched. rogers didn't pitch then during that record setting day due to being on the DL. they'll give it a shot next week i'm sure!
  • in2deep, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1the thing about athletes today is that there bodies are holding up better, 40 soon won't be considered that old.....its the new 30
  • Mikecol, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1I think it has more to do with Tommy John surgery.
  • Emilio8605, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2...if all of their hips don't go out.
  • Vodka23, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0Lack of young pitchers? You obviously havent watched baseball lately.
  • Vodka23, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0It keeps up occupied during the 3 hrs + of game time.
  • bran2win, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0Congratulations to each of them! They better enjoy it while they can. The constant stress the put their arms under catches up with them soon enough. Check out my profile: http://www.screamingsports.com/en/public/profile.aspx?p=1167
  • mal1964, on 10/11/2007, -4/+3Not quite as exciting as the Sosa VS McGuire home run race in 1998
  • Cozmcphish, on 10/11/2007, -2/+1Well there's lack of young pitchers cause all the old farts won't retire
  • inactive, on 10/11/2007, -2/+1LETS GO REDSOX
  • Azdak, on 10/11/2007, -5/+3NO ***** WAY.

    Next you'll be telling me that 5 6'1" lefties had double plays in a MONTH!
  • capiCrimm, on 10/11/2007, -5/+2Your the 1st person to say that about MLB with that sentence on Digg 27 minutes ago. Do I hear a record breaking someone? Or is that just my skull fracturing and my brains splattering over the walls from this Digg? You Decide at 9:00, Tonight!
