Slightly OT Does a photo of Cobb with Kaline exist?

And I think that's actually Nolan Ryan on the left.

I was totally confused, because I thought Scott was referring to his playing days. Haha, Nolan Ryan 2014! Now I get it.

Come to think of it, Nolan has aged the worst of any ballplayer I can think of, Man, he looks awful.

He's 67 years old. You think he looks "awful"? Seriously?




Just found out he's now with the Astros again.

For those of us who have followed Ryan closely throughout his career, it does appear that he has aged quickly - remember, he had that rigorous work-out regimen in his 40's, and was in fantastic shape right up until he retired. Since then he's put on weight, grayed, lost more hair and has had to go through losing two back-to-back World Series and one had that horrible 2nd-to-last game.

Now he's joined the Astros, who fired many of his friends when they moved to the AL and who have such high hopes because of their farm system. I'm glad that he's with them, because if anyone could make sure that the club lives up to its potential, I think it's Nolan Ryan; however, as competition he's got the Rangers and Angels who are both strong, the A's who find ways to win the division when they shouldn't, and the Mariners who are also a young team on the rise. It won't be easy, but I'm excited about it.

Expect Ryan to continue aging, which of course should be all of our goals.

He looks 87, not 67!
