So what if the players can't wipe their own ass? I just watched a video clip of Gunma Prefecture's new 74+ baseball league in action, and some of its players still throw a mean ass curve ball. There are currently 90 participants between the ages of 74 and 83, and the winning team goes to the finals later this month.
In case you're wondering, the dude in the photo is not on in the League of the Ancients. He is 64-year old legendary baseball player and manager for the Yomiuri Giants, Sadaharu Oh. A half-breed like me, the man is on medical leave for stomach cancer since July. Get better soon, Mr. Oh! You still have two decades of baseball left in you, if you move to Gunma.
Oh kantoku. Isn't he with the Fukuoka Daiei Hawks? Or did he switch teams in the last 7 years? I've met him. In Fukuoka. 7 years ago. He's a nice guy.
