Julio Franco keeps on ticking

Julio Franco became the oldest player in MLB history to go yard last night, he'll be 48 in August.

It's over 23 years ago now that the Phillies traded him for 5-4-1.

You mean he says he'll turn 48 in August. Nobody knows how old he really is -- just like Satchel Paige. But he's still amazing.

Yeah, some people think he might be older than what his reported age.
