I did say geezers (plural)
Was hoping some other folks might chime in with old folks.

My next AARP candidates:

Art "The Heir" Reeve
His nickname started as an homage to Dan "The Man" Conley ... now it's a bald guy joke.

"On the land line" Trejo
Besides anyone remembering a landline, a plus for chasing the crazy record of "Moose" Baker

I just cut one of my geezers in pitcher Theo Lachance. http://brokenbat.org/player/144143
He spent a career exceeding expectations, hat a career year at 33, then declined badly in skills while rising steeply in salary, so he just couldn't afford a bad start to the season.

Another guy who has been declining badly is Berry Lauretti. http://brokenbat.org/player/164754
He just had a moment that was worthy of a press release, though:


May 28 2046: Old Man Lauretti's Walk-Off Grand Slam - by Holmes on July 16th, 2020

If Manhattan ends up not being demoted and the bot ends up not winning the championship, this will have been the at bat when it all started turning:
Harrisonburg was leading 5-1 going into the bottom of the ninth. Two singles, a fielder's choice and a walk later, it's 5-2, the bases are loaded with one out, Harrisonburg's closer has taken the mound, and our future hall of famer, who has been limited to a platoon role because he is really declining at age 34, comes in to pinch hit...
Goosebumps, folks, goosebumps.

Who cares that we were shut out in the next game?
