The Intentional Walk

Almost immediately after setting the record for oldest professional baseball player, 83 year old Jim Eriotes will have to settle for second place. 94 year old and former Negro League star "Buck" O'Neil will get an at bat and get intentionally walked during a minor league all star game tonight. I must admit, my dream is over. There is no way I will be playing professional baseball at the age of 94. Now 84 was a realistic possibility, but 94 is asking too much.

Congrats "Buck" - I know when I'm licked.
